College Scholarship Service Profile which shorted as CSS Profile is an application distributed by the College Board in the United States allowing college students to apply for financial aid. How to apply CSS Profile?
The CSS Profile is primarily designed to give private member institutions of the College Board a closer look into the finances of a student and family. It is much more detailed than the FAFSA. The CSS Profile is the FAFSA counterpart for many private colleges. The CSS College Profile is used to collect financial information from the parent and student to calculate your family’s EFC using the Institutional Methodology.
If you apply CSS Profile, you will get questions about the financial status of the student and the student's parents. The information which student gives in the CSS Profile is sent to colleges or universities that the student specifies. Finally, after student completes the CSS Profile, colleges may then make adjustments to their financial aid awards.
The CSS Profile calculates student’s income and asset differently for financial aid purposes than does the FAFSA. Many colleges require both the CSS Profile and the FAFSA application to determine student’s financial aid eligibility.
Each CSS Profile costs a fee, varying from year to year. For the 2010-11 form the application fee was $9.00 and $16.00 per college submitted. Harvard, Yale, and many other Ivy League institutions require the CSS Profile. Princeton University is a notable exception because it does not require a CSS Profile but instead has its own free financial aid application form.
