In addition to\u00a0filing the FAFSA<\/a>, some schools and scholarship opportunities also require the College Scholarship Service Profile (CSS Profile).

\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What Is the CSS Profile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CollegeBoard\u2019s CSS Profile is an online application that is used to determine eligibility for financial aid. Almost 250 colleges are using the 2023-24 Profile. It was created and is maintained by the College Board and is used to award college financial aid, grants and scholarships from sources outside of the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can check to see which schools require the application by checking the CollegeBoard\u2019s 2023-24 participating institutions and programs page<\/a>. You can also learn how to apply on the\u00a0College Board\u2019s CSS Profile page<\/a>. (We filled out the application for my son last year and it was pretty easy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Application Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. The CSS Profile opens each fall. The 2023-24 Profile opened on October 1, 2022. The application deadline varies based on the chosen institutions and programs. It is strongly suggested that you apply as soon as possible instead of waiting for the due date though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Before starting the application, note that you will need your most recently completed tax returns, W-2 forms and other records of your current year\u2019s income as well as records of untaxed income and benefits, assets and bank statements.

3. You don\u2019t have to complete the application in one sitting. You can save it and return back to it later if you need to do so.

Another great thing is that you can make changes after submitting the application. You just click\u201cCorrect Your CSS Profile\u201d on your dashboard.

4. Submitting your CSS Profile to one college or scholarship program costs $25 for the first application. Additional reports are $16 each. The application is free for families (of domestic undergraduate students) who make up to $100,000\/year though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Some participating institutions require applications from both biological parents in divorced or separated families. If the student doesn\u2019t have contact with their noncustodial parent, they can submit a waiver request. You can learn more at the CSS Profile\u2019s Divorced or Separated Parents Info page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tutorial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are a visual person, you can visit CollegeBoard\u2019s 2023-24 CSS Profile Tutorial page<\/a>. It\u2019s a walkthrough of how to complete the application.<\/p>\n\n\n

Since the CSS Profile provides access to more than $10 billion in nonfederal aid each year, apply (if needed) and get your portion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
