The CSS Profile requires tax documents from the same year as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which is required for students interested in receiving federal financial aid. Students who have already completed the FAFSA can use much of the same documentation for the CSS Profile.
Is CSS first come first serve?
Just like the FAFSA, the CSS PROFILE can be filled out as early as October 1, but different schools enact different exact deadlines. Also, much like the FAFSA, funds are given on a first-come, first-serve basis so the earlier you apply, the better.
Is CSS Profile required every year?
A: Some colleges and universities require families to submit the Profile every year. Other schools only require the application for the student’s freshman year. Check with each college or university for requirements.

Understand your EFC Calculation The actual calculation is four separate numbers that are summed together: parents’ income, parents’ assets, student’s income, and student’s assets.
Why is my EFC so high with low income?
If your family has accumulated wealth and investments, your EFC can be high, even if your family’s income is low. Parents that withdraw from their 401k to pay for a student’s education are in fact increasing their EFC, because that withdrawal is counted as untaxed income on the FAFSA.

What is a good EFC?
An EFC of 0 is generally the most desirable as it indicates that you have the greatest financial need and therefore, should be offered the maximum amount of financial aid. However, understand that a 0 EFC does not mean that you will pay nothing out of pocket.
Is it better to have a higher or lower EFC?
The higher the EFC score, the more you are expected to pay. Families should keep in mind the EFC is usually the minimum a college expects a family to pay. Many times, families will pay much more. A high EFC score means your student will receive less need-based federal financial aid to attend college.
