FAFSA, CSS and Merit

Yes, but if such a student gets a full ride (or a combination of scholarships adding up to a full ride) before sending in the FAFSA, they might not bother with the FAFSA unless the college requires them to file it. See under “Freshman Scholarships” at Scholarships | Tuskegee University to see a college’s reason for requiring FAFSA in such situations.
