What is the CSS Profile?
This is a very long form that some schools & scholarship organizations require you to fill out if you want to be eligible for school based aid. The CSS Profile is much more intense than the FAFSA and has many more questions to answer.
The "Profile" is processed by collegeboard.com and they do charge fees for filing this form. This school year is is $25 for the application and $16 for each school and organization that you wish to send it to.
The CSS Profile Application dives very deep into the financial situation of the student and the parents as it is mostly used for students seeking early admission to college when the current FAFSA is not made available yet. Not many public state colleges and universities use the CSS, but most private upscale schools do.
Not every school requires the CSS Profile, but you can find a list of them here:

If your school is on this list, it is in your best interest to file this form. You can fill out the profile here:
