<p>I keep hearing about a css profile. What is it and do i need to do one also.</p>
<p>thanks for the link but i still don't know what it is. before this site i had never heard of a css profile. what is it? what will i gain from filling it out? and why does it need a credit card?</p>
<p>Some schools require the CSS profile to apply for financial aid. Check the schools you are applying to to see what is necessary to apply for financial aid. It may only be the FASFA or any combination that may include their own financial aid app or the CSS profile. The credit card is needed because you have to pay to submit your profile.</p>
