CSS Profile

<p>I filled out the CSS Profile for another school for early action but I was planning on waiting till after January 1 to send it to Michigan in order to make corrections to it. I was wondering though if I should sent it now to be considered for scholarships. (i'm very low income).</p>

<p>whats a css profile?</p>

<p>Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the CSS profile only used by schools in California. I think that Michigan only requires the FAFSA to be completed.</p>

<p>Nope, U of M now requires CSS Profile. And it must not be just Calif. colleges, because Oberlin in Ohio and Agnes Scott in Georgia both require it too.</p>

<p>Wait, so do we need to fill out the FAFSA and the CSS or just the CSS now. I'm a first-year student going into my second semester.</p>

<p>Check the finanical Aid Website.</p>

<p>You definitely need both. From what I understand they use the FAFSA to determine aid for federal and states purposes and use the CSS Profile to determine the university aid that is awarded. They have a very helpful guide you can download.</p>
