The CSS Profile is a financial aid form required by many selective colleges and universities.

I help students with this form every year. For divorced families or any number of other situations, this form can be extremely frustrating. Calling the CollegeBoard (creators of the form) for assistance is usually not very helpful and exacerbates the frustration. Colleges refer you back to the CollegeBoard if you have problems, because they are not experts in filling out the form as well.

This document is required in order to receive financial aid from the college, which is where most of the financial aid comes from.This document should not stop students from getting the financial aid they deserve.
