FAFSA. CSS Profile. Common App. Three different forms, three different purposes—and a lot of confusion about which ones your student actually needs to complete.

Some colleges require only the FAFSA for financial aid. Others also require the CSS Profile. And while the Common App is used to apply for admission at many colleges, not every school uses it.

Join us for a free, expert-led webinar where we’ll break down each form, explain what it’s used for, and help you understand exactly what your family should be preparing for this college application and financial aid season.

You'll Learn:
FAFSA: Who needs to complete it, what information families are asked to report, and how colleges use it to determine eligibility for federal and other types of financial aid
CSS Profile: How it differs from the FAFSA, which colleges require it, and why your financial picture may look different on each form
Common App: What it’s used for, which parts your student is responsible for, and how it fits into the overall college application process
Which forms your student actually needs: How to determine each college’s requirements so you don’t complete unnecessary forms—or accidentally miss an important one
 Common mistakes to avoid: The filing errors, missed requirements, and assumptions that can create unnecessary delays during an already busy application season

You don’t need to become an expert on every college form you just need to know which ones matter for your student and what needs to happen next.
