CSS and FAFSA?

<p>I am from California and most of the schools around here seem to take the FAFSA. I looked on Midd's website and it says they need both the CSS profile and the FAFSA? I don't have an issue filling it out, but can anyone shed some light on the difference between the two?</p>

<p>There’s not a “difference” since you still need to complete the FAFSA. But the CSS profile is used by private schools IN ADDITION TO the FAFSA to show a more complete and thorough picture of family finances.</p>

<p>Alright Thanks!</p>
