<p>I’m not familiar with the CSS profile. Is it similar to the FAFSA, except it costs money? and when is it due? does it depend on the school, or is there a set deadline. Please let me know; i’m confused.</p>
<p>Yes, it is similar to FAFSA, although it includes some things that FAFSA does not, such as home equity. I would certainly check with colleges for the deadline, as that likely varies from school to school.</p>
<p>what’s ccs</p>
<p>CSS Profile is a FAFSA like reporting tool put out there for private colleges to utilize for determining financial aid. </p>
<p>Not all colleges/universities use the CSS Profile. You can either check for your school(s) at collegeboard.com or on the colleges own webpage for financial aid.</p>
<p>CSS stands for College Scholarship Service (if I remember correctly). About 25% of the private colleges utilize the CSS Profile. You do not need to file it unless the schools you apply to require it. Check their FA webpages.</p>
<p>It is going to take more time to file than the FAFSA as it asks for about twice as much info. So get crackin.</p>
