<p>Thanks, Nikki!</p>
<p>Thumper, I know that thousands of schools use only the FAFSA. In my post above (#5), I commented that there are only about 250-300 schools that use the PROFILE, so that leaves a lot that are FAFSA-only. If you do the search I suggested, you can find the most up-to-date list of PROFILE-using schools.</p>
<p>Probably most of the FAFSA-only colleges are public. Many of the others that are private are not schools that people here tend to talk about or have on their radar.</p>
<p>This question comes up often enough, both here and at my kids’ high school, that I thought it might be useful to have a short list of private, FAFSA-only colleges that CC readers might be happy to know about. The Colleges that Change Lives list seemed like a good place to start, since many people here use that as a good starting point in their college search.</p>
