Filing out the FAFSA and CSS to get Merit Aid

Paying for College
1

<p>My daughter was awarded a merit aid scholarship from a college which requires you to fill out the FAFSA and CSS to receive the scholarship money. We checked not applying for financial aid on the common ap but now will be filling out the forms anyway. What will other colleges say when they get the FAFSA information even though we had checked not applying for aid on the application? Will this be a problem?</p>

<p>If you don’t put the other colleges down on the FAFSA or PROFILE they won’t have access to info.
You don’t have to add them.</p>

<p>EK4 is right.</p>

<p>YOU decide who gets the FA info. If you don’t list the schools, they won’t get the info. The forms don’t know where your child is applying unless you indicate the schools.</p>
