<p>can someone PLEASE explain the financial aid application process to me, i know that we have to submit a fafsa and css. but how? steps? where?</p>
<p>thanks a lot, midterms have fried my brain</p>
<p>Please check the individual college websites. Requirements vary from school to school, so there is no one answer to this question. You can submit the FAFSA at <a href="http://www">www</a>. fafsa.ed.gov and the Profile at profileonline.collegeboard.com</p>
<p>Your colleges may also have their own financial aid applications. They will probably want copies of your and your parents' tax returns. Some may want these submitted through IDOC, which is provided by College Board.</p>
<p>In other words, you need to do some research and, given the timing, you need to do it now.</p>
