How to compare your financial aid offers.
Congratulations on your acceptance! If you listed a school on your FAFSA form, their financial aid office may reach out to you, typically through email, to present your aid offer. This exciting offer will outline the various types and amounts of financial assistance available to you, drawn from federal, state, private, and institutional sources. Together, these resources create a comprehensive financial aid package to support you on your educational journey!
At the RISLA College Planning Center, we’re here to help you every step of the way on your college journey! Schedule a free appointment today!
Step 3
Complete the CSS Profile
Many private colleges ask for the CSS PROFILE application or their unique financial aid forms to determine your eligibility for their financial aid programs. You can begin completing the PROFILE as early as October at cssprofile.collegeboard.org—how exciting is that!
It's important to check if you need to submit any additional forms alongside the FAFSA, and don’t forget to adhere to each school’s deadlines. Below, you'll find convenient links to guide you through the process. Let's get started on securing the funding you deserve!
