<p>is it necessary to fill out both the fafsa and the css? if we have to fill out the css i find it unfair that to get financial aid you have to PAY money...also they require money without us being accepted yet</p>
<p>The money doesn’t go to Notre Dame, it goes to Collegeboard, the same company that sponsors the SATs. Many, many schools now require the Profile to determine their institutional aid–FAFSA (which is free) only determines your eligibility for federal aid.</p>
<p>It is necessary.</p>
<p>yes, if you want your child to receive FA from the school. It is a small investment on our part considering the aids that our kids may receive, wouln’t you agree?</p>
