It’s $9 up front, and then an additional $16 per school or scholarship program.



With a $300K income and $150K in college savings, one would think he family could afford the Profile.

BUT agreed…it’s not free. And it’s unlikely that filing it will yield need based aid.

Our kids’ schools, however, required the Profile and FAFSA for ALL aid including merit aid…for incoming freshmen. You need to check this if you are applying for merit aid. On this YMMV depending on the policy of each school.
