Do all the CSS profile schools look at the non-custodial parent’s income and assests the same. >>




Schools using the Profile are using the information collected from it to distribute THEIR institutional money. They can use the information any way they choose to…and the ways vary wildly. This is one reason why financial aid awards, even from schools that meet full need, can be VERY different from school to school. Each school has a way of using that Profile information. I have heard (no personal experience) that you can ask the finaid department what their policy is on the non-custodial parent information and some will share it with you. You can give them a call and see.
