Should I do fafsa and CSS?

Paying for College

<p>why do both? does doing both affect how much aid you will get? whats the difference?
I am pretty sure I am poor so should i even bother doing CSS?</p>

<p>Depends on which are required by the colleges you are applying to. Look at the requirements, and deadlines, of each of these colleges carefully. They’ll all likely require at least the FAFSA. If one also requires the CSS Profile, then do that as well.</p>

<p>Fafsa gets you federal aid. CSS is for private aid if you’re applying to private schools so if you want the most aid, you need both.</p>
