Personally, I’m not worried about low income kids getting less aid because of the PROFILE. That will really only happen for a very small minority of students as MOST low income families have very simple finances.

I don’t agree that UMich requiring CSS Profile affects a very small minority of low income kids, since NCP info is req’d. Low income families probably have as many NCP issues as middle/higher income families. I would guess that significant % of students have an NCP. The student who realizes that his/her NCP will not fill out the paperwork may be less likely to apply to UMich.
I agree that simply requiring ANY FA paperwork is a stumbling block to many low income students
@BelknapPoint I apologize for my sarcasm. I was shocked that anyone took my simple suggestions as to how some Pell qualified students might not end up applying or attending UMich because CSS Profile (or their NPC) captured something that FAFSA doesn’t include.
