The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Students & families wishing to apply for financial aid for college must complete the FAFSA. The application is used to determine the dollar amount you or your family will be expected to contribute towards college. All federal grant and loan awards are determined by the FAFSA and nearly all colleges use the FAFSA as the basis for their own financial aid awards.
The CSS Profile is the financial aid application service of the College Board. Many colleges, universities, and scholarship programs use the information collected on PROFILE to help them award nonfederal student aid. The PROFILE can be completed beginning October 1. Not all schools require the CSS/Profile, be sure to check the requirements for each college applying to.
