<p>Does a list exist and if so, where can I find it?
Thanks.</p>
<p>Not that I know of. it would be a long long list. Only 300 out of thousands of colleges require CSS as well as FAFSA. You would be better off finding the list of CSS schools at collegeboard and avoiding those (if that is your plan) rather than trying to put together a list of FAFSA only schools.</p>

<p>here’s the list that use CSS and/or IDOC</p>
<p>And why do you want this list? It’s my impression that the colleges and universities with the best financial aid require Profile in addition to FAFSA.</p>
<p>Also don’t think that schools that do not use the profile don’t ask additional financial questions. You will need to look up every school to see if there is an additional financial aid form to complete. Many schools have their own forms that must be completed in addition to the fafsa.</p>
<p>One reason families look for FAFSA-only schools is because FAFSA only looks at the income of the custodial parent while CSS Profile may require the income/asset information of both custodial and non-custodial parents.</p>
<p>Another reason people look for FAFSA-only schools is if they have a lot of home equity.</p>
<p>Here’s a list of FAFSA-only schools I keep handy. Most of these schools are truly FAFSA-only and don’t require anything else. A few use an institutional form along with the FAFSA each year. Some colleges that use institutional forms ask about any support that will be provided by a non-custodial parent (example: Beloit), while others do not ask about non-custodial parents on their institutional forms (example: Earlham).</p>

<p>FAFSA only schools can be good because the CSS PROFILE looks at home equity AND basically requires a student contribution. In short, CSS PROFILE is going to assess the family’s contribution at a higher level.</p>
<p>
Not necessarily. The PROFILE is more accurate about state taxes, which helps people in high-tax states whose taxes are being underestimated by the FAFSA. The PROFILE has a bigger income protection allowance for parents. It also allows for medical expenses. So it all depends on your particular circumstances…</p>
<p>Calreader…Seattle U, another FAFSA-only Jesuit school.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I did not know this. Thanks for letting me know.</p>
<p>Thanks for the Seattle University tip - I updated my list that I share with students… most of the students are interested in west coast, so this is good to know.</p>
<p>“One reason families look for FAFSA-only schools is because FAFSA only looks at the income of the custodial parent while CSS Profile may require the income/asset information of both custodial and non-custodial parents.”</p>
<p>This is so true! The CSS Profile not only looks at the non-custodial parent – they look at the non-custodial’s spouses income too. Not fair at all because in our case that non-custodial parents are not willing to help!</p>
<p>Colby-Sawyer College in New Hampshire uses FAFSA not CSS Profile.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually it’s not true. Only about a third of the 300+ Profile schools require the non-custodial parent to fill out the non-custodial form.</p>
