On the css profile it asks " is the college authorized to discuss family’s information to financial aid agencies and scholarship donors providing aid to the student?"
Options are yes, no, does not apply. I don’t feel comfortable giving out my information. We are hoping for merit based aid. How best to play this game?
What game?
Might you get outside scholarships? Might you be eligible for a scholarship which is a named endowed one…and will require this information?
