<p>Those are financial aid application FORMS…they do not GIVE aid. The aid will be awarded by your colleges, not by the Profile or the FAFSA folks.

<p>You need to check EACH COLLEGE’s website for required financial aid application forms and supporting materials (some schools require signed tax returns and all schedules for example). And check the deadlines for submission and DO NOT MISS THE DEADLINES. Check each school…these vary wildly by school.</p>
