Is the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE on your mind? The PROFILE is a financial aid application required by over 400 colleges, universities, and scholarship programs, so if you have a child applying to college, there’s a good chance you’ll need to complete it. Like the FAFSA, the PROFILE asks questions about family income, assets, and household members. It requires more details than the FAFSA, and has its own registration process.
Learn all of the nuts and bolts of the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE, a financial aid application required by over 400 colleges and universities across the country.
If you have a child going to college next year, chances are you’ll be applying for financial aid. The FAFSA, which is the main application for college financial aid, becomes available on October 1st this year, giving you the opportunity to submit the form much earlier than in previous years. Most colleges have financial aid due dates set in February or March, so you have plenty of time to apply. But make sure to check the deadline at every school your student may attend next year – you can find that on each college or university’s financial aid website. It is crucial for you to apply for financial aid on time.
Though the FAFSA is the most important application for financial aid, as its required by every college and university in the nation, the CSS Profile is also used in the financial aid process by almost 400 colleges, universities, and scholarship programs. To find out if you need to submit the Profile to a certain school, check each college and university’s financial aid website for required applications. Deadlines are important too – so make sure you check those and submit everything on time.
Do you need to complete the FAFSA this year? Every student applying for college financial aid is required to submit one, and the form just became available on October 1st. Many families are intimidated by the financial aid process, but the FAFSA, which stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid, isn’t as complicated as it seems. The form asks for family demographic information, then refers to the 2016 federal tax return to collect financial data, then finishes up by asking questions about assets, household size, and the number of people in the family attending college. Most parents find the application much easier (and quicker) to complete than anticipated.
The college financial aid process can seem complex, but when you break it down into pieces, it makes a lot of sense. Our slides below offer straightforward and simplified financial aid facts, and we’ve included numerous links that lead to further information and resources. Once you understand the basics, you’ll be able to easily navigate the process.
We’ve put together a set of slides to walk you through the FAFSA. You’ll find out helpful information about completing the application, as well as screenshots of each section.
MEFA's presentation outlines the things families need to know about paying their college bill. Learn about financial aid (and types), and how to select a college loan.

An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function.
Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also include accounting software for cost allocation of processor time, mass storage, printing, and other resources.
For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware,[1][2] although the application code is usually executed directly by the hardware and will frequently make a system call to an OS function or be interrupted by it. Operating systems can be found on almost any device that contains a computer—from cellular phones and video game consoles to supercomputers and web servers.
Examples of popular modern operating systems include Android, BSD, iOS, Linux, OS X, QNX, Microsoft Windows,[3] Windows Phone, and IBM z/OS. All these, except Windows, Windows Phone and z/OS, share roots in UNIX.
Presentation Regarding functions of operating systems and their working and other information regarding their uses and types. Useful for Students and other for knowing better about them.

The U.Plan Prepaid Tuition Program offers benefits unlike any other savings vehicle. By saving money in the U.Plan, you’ll be locking in today’s rates for college tuition and mandatory fees at every Massachusetts college and university in the U.Plan network. That means the rise in college tuition won’t affect you, and your savings will be used to pay for college at 2016 rates. And if your child doesn’t attend a U.Plan school, you’ll receive your full savings back, with interest calculated at CPI and no penalty, right when your child heads off to college. It’s a powerful and fail-proof savings opportunity.

Not connected to the FAFSA at all – totally separate application – FAFSA is for federal/state funds
Does not have to be submitted early (before the FAFSA) unless required earlier (usually for Early Decision/Action). Should submit it 2 weeks before the earliest priority deadline. Check the deadlines at each college!
Customized to student based on Registration questions and skip logic
Customized to school – specific questions requested by each college included on application – schools can add Supplemental Questions (SQ) – only the colleges who asked these questions will receive the answers.
Used for both domestic and international students
Some schools require the PROFILE every year. Some only want it the first year.
Information is used in Institutional Methodology, a detailed analysis of family household and financial data used by many colleges and organizations in order to award institutional funds
October 1st start helps institutions reach students earlier for EA/ED/rolling admissions
Schools are doing their best to distribute their own funds fairly, which is why they require the additional info on the PROFILE.
URL at the top to get to the PROFILE. Can also go to CollegeBoard.org, click on College Planning, and under the Pay for College tab, you’ll find the PROFILE
CB account: set up a username & password. Can use the student’s CB account from the SAT, or the parent can create an account. Must use student account if stu received SAT fee waiver and wants to receive PROFILE fee waiver automatically as a result. Each account can only be tied to one application per year. If the parent wants to keep financial/household information from the student, the parent should create a CB account; otherwise the student will be able to access the PROFILE. If there is more than one child needing a PROFILE, the parent will need to create more than one account.
Can use the same username & password from year to year.
Participating schools list – Pretty accurate, though some have chosen not to be on this list! Definitely still check each financial aid office’s website
For each school/organization, details are listed: CSS Code, state, and if PROFILE/PROFILE for int’l students/NCP/IDOC used/required
Before you get to the Registration page, a page will appear that provides guidance on the Registration and application process.

21 questions
Must register in one sitting or info will not be saved
Student name MUST match name on the SS card
SSN is optional but include it – colleges often use as the main identifier and to link PROFILE to student record
Email – make it valid and one that is checked – CB only communicates via email. Many families create a family email address.
Info determines later questions asked: parent marital status prompts the Noncust Par PROFILE if par are divorced/separated, par country of residence determines if student is provided domestic or int’l PROFILE (Canadians get domestic PROFILE)
Select never attended college if still in high school, even if taking college courses for credit
Marital status: par can now report single, adoptive par, or single par of donor-conceived child
Citizenship: select U.S. citizen if have dual citizenship
Parent country of residence will also be asked. This is DIFFERENT from a parent’s country of citizenship. Parents who reside outside the U.S. will be asked different questions.
CSS ID – colleges may use it, so it’s good to have it – will be emailed to you after Registration
There is no listing of the PROFILE questions anywhere online. Families need to first complete Registration and can then download the Pre-Application Worksheet
Customized Pre-App Worksheet & Instructions: can print for use in completing the PROFILE – Can help speed up the PROFILE process
Summary of Registration is provided at the end
Make sure one person at a time on one computer is completing Registration & the Application

Users will have the opportunity to review all of the Registration answers that have been entered before finishing Registration
You will receive pop-up warning messages to review your answer in the PROFILE if the PROFILE thinks a response you gave might be wrong

If the student has a legal guardian, all of the parent questions apply to the legal guardian (!)
Custodial parent: the parent with whom the student lived the most over the past 12 months
The schools selected in the Registration process will determine if parent info is collected for independent students – if required by any school, the parent data will be displayed. Independent students are: 24 or older as of Jan 1 in academic yr, married, grad students, have legal dependents other than spouse, veterans, and orphans/wards of the court
Report both parents if you live with them
Income earned from work = wages, salaries, & tips from the federal income tax return
Most colleges/universities assume a certain amount of student contribution from income, even if income = $0
Include other children in hh if parents will provide more than half their support during the upcoming academic year
Don’t include people that the parents support who are NOT in the household (e.g. grandparents living elsewhere)
3 years of inc (prior, expected, & current year) allows colleges to determine if base-year income is accurate
Provides a heads-up when parent income may drop in the next tax year
Untaxed Social Security Benefits collected for parents and siblings (not on the FAFSA at all). Any SS benefits received by parents on student’s behalf should not be reported ANYWHERE on the PROFILE.
Parents who are self-employed and don’t own a business will receive a warning message asking if they’re sure that they don’t own a business (because many self-employed people DO own a business). If the parent does indeed NOT own a business, the parent can ignore the warning message.
Why home equity? Measure of family financial strength & advantage in tax system
Give the fair market value of your home (what would you get if you sold it today?) instead of the tax assessed value. You can use zillow.com.
Home debt includes any mortgage plus any home equity line of credit being used.
Parent expenses collected – these listed are viewed as non-discretionary. Discretionary expenses like credit card debt are not considered/collected
Medical/dental – includes expenses not covered by insurance AND amounts paid for insurance. Can use amount from line 1 of Schedule A if you itemize med/dental expenses
Ages of siblings: list whomever receives > half of the parents’ support and lives in the household. Some colleges may remove siblings/other family members 24 and older (or some other age)
Sibling colleges: lower-cost colleges may result in a larger EFC. Some colleges don’t count grad siblings in the household/in college
Student expected-year income: summer + academic year
Basic info on the noncustodial parent is reported by the custodial parent on the PROFILE (name, address, yr of divorce/separation, who last claimed child on taxes)
If noncust parent passed away after divorce, cust parent should report himself/herself as widowed, even though this is not accurate. If the cust parent has already reported herself/himself as divorced and the NCP has been requested, contact each school and explain.
Students can request that the College Board email the noncust parent directly with sign-in information for the NCP (given option to “click here” and provide the noncust parent’s email address). This option is only given during the Registration process
Can click the “Help Desk” button for tips for divorced/separated parents
College Board accepts VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover cards
Noncustodial PROFILE: $25, regardless of number of schools
Does not include Earned Income Credit in the Total Parent Income but includes all other taxable and untaxable income
For family of 4, fee waiver given if parent income is $40K or less; for family of 3, $35K or less; for family of 2, $27K or less
USDA same as National School Lunch Program
Business owners and self-employed do not get fee waivers
If a school pays for all of its students to take the SAT, that isn’t the same as the student receiving an SAT fee waiver
Those who receive a PROFILE fee waiver do NOT automatically receive an SAT fee waiver (doesn’t work both ways)
Noncust fee wavier is calculated totally separately from the regular PROFILE fee waiver. One does not impact the other.
Most fee payment codes actually go to international students who are from countries that are prevented from using credit cards in U.S. transactions
Double check your answers before submitting. Once submitted, you cannot make online edits.
Can print out the Acknowledgement - Can also log in later to view it: Select “Check Status of Application” on the PROFILE homepage
At any time, you may add a college or program by going to the PROFILE home page and clicking “Add Colleges to Submitted Application.” You will be charged $16 for each college or program you add. Any unused fee-waiver eligibility will be automatically applied to your charges. You may not delete any recipients once you have submitted your application.
The Acknowledgment no longer tells students if a college will use IDOC to collect documents
If ADDING an additional college after the initial submission, you can edit your answers. Those edits will only go to the new college(s).
Does NOT provide the EFC like the FAFSA
No PIN required – you agree to a certification at the end
Can select “Check Status of Application” anytime to see where PROFILE has been sent.
College Board's Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC)
