CSS profile

<p>I just saw that for USC i not only have to do the FAFSA but also the css profile. What is the different and why do i have to do both. I heard the css costs money is this true?? Thanks.</p>

<p>yes normally you have to do them both, and CSS does cost money which is kind of ridiculous because the people who cant afford college are the ones who have to send it. i think its like $18 per school.</p>

<p>You don't have to do both. The Profile is strictly voluntary. You can decide to save $18 and pay full price at USC.</p>
