This is for continuing students at Drexel. For financial aid renewal, a FAFSA is required. The school certainly can do whatever it chooses to do in terms of Drexel grants…but SEOP, Pell, and the PA grants require an annual FAFSA to be completed, as do the Direct Loans, and Federal Work Study.

So…the school does not require the CSS Profile for years Beyond freshman year… it that doesn’t mean your aid will remain exactly the same…because they DO require the Profile.

I should add…my kid attended Boston University…and while he was a student there, they also stopped using the Profile in subsequent years…BUT the also required the FAFSA for aid renewal…so it’s not like they didn’t have a look see at your income and assets at all after that first year.

I should add…Drexel does not meet full need…so you may actually be disappointed with the aid you DO get from the school. We know more than a couple of handful of students who didn’t attend because the aid provided was insufficient to make a dent in the costs to attend.
