CSS PROFILE...why do we have to pay!??!

<p>Hi,,
Colleges I applied to require CSS Profile...
But!!..for every college, I need to pay like $16??
I'm asking them for money,,,but why do I need to pay??
It's kind of ironic......What do you guys think??</p>

<p>The CSS Profile is administered by the College Board which charges for its services. That is why you have to pay. If you net yourself some decent financial aid, the price of submitting the Profile will seem very low.</p>

<p>Cause…if I need to send CSS Profile to 10 colleges,it will be $160…which is expensive…</p>

<p>Don’t they waive the fees if your family has low income?</p>

<p>Yes. I ended up paying $60 dollars for mine. It was originally $160, but still.</p>

<p>Do I need to apply for the fee waiver??Then where??</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies btw! :)</p>

<p>Its automatic if your family has low enough income.</p>

<p>It doesn’t look like you qualify. Anyway, if you’re international, you won’t qualify, low income or not.</p>

<p>CSS is a for-profit company so they charge. It’s as simple as that.</p>
