CSS Profile

Hello DVD Seniors!

The CSS Profile is an application for institutional financial aid required by more than 300 colleges, universities and scholarship organizations. If you are applying to a college that requires the CSS Profile, please complete this form as soon as possible. The financial information that is provided by completing the CSS profile will allow colleges to create an estimated award offer if you are accepted to their institution. As we wait for the FAFSA to open sometime in December, we are also anticipating that processing of the FAFSA may take longer than expected. However, the estimated award as a result of the CSS profile, will more than likely be the actual award you will receive.

  • The CSS Profile is mostly for private schools.  Here is the list of participating institutions
  • Students that applied EA/ED may have an CSS Profile deadline in November or December.  Please check deadline on the respective university websites
  • The UCs and the CSUs do not require the CSS Profile, only the FAFSA or the CADAA
  • Priority FAFSA or the CADAA deadline for the UCs is March 2nd
  • Priority FAFSA or the CADAA deadline for the CSUs is April 2nd



If you have any questions, please contact your student’s counselor.

Thank you,

DVD Counselors
