Chapman U admissions process is need-blind. They do not download the FAFSA information until after the point of admission.
From the Chapman Admissions Tumbler site today:
Does Chapman require a CSS profile for financial aid? Chapman only requests/advises students to fill out the FAFSA; we do not require the CSS profile.
Background notes:
Need-blind denotes a college admissions policy in which applicants are judged solely on their merits, irrespective of their ability to pay for tuition.
The CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE (often written as CSS PROFILE), short for the College Scholarship Service Profile, is an application distributed by the College Board in the United States allowing college students to apply for financial aid. It 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.
