Some schools that do not use the Profile are not “FAFSA only”; they often require their own applications as well as FAFSA.

Out of state public schools may be FAFSA only; however, remember that these schools do not promise to meet full need. They often have little to offer by way of financial aid for out of state students. You may not be any better off than you would be with a Profile school.



Thanks for heads-up. It’s counter intuitive to think an out of state public college can easily be more expensive than a private.
