<p>sorry for the noob question but is it alright to do both sevices for any one school</p>
<p>You will send FAFSA to all schools. Profile only goes to those schools that require it (look at the school's website for financial aid requirements). If it's a school that requires Profile, it also requires FAFSA (with the exception of Hillsdale College & any other college that does not participate in federal aid programs).</p>
<p>Often you must do both forms. They are different. FAFSA is for every school, and many scholarships. Private schools need CSS as well. Kelsmom is right, look on the FA web site for your schools.</p>
