The second form you might be asked to fill out is the CSS Profile. This is a financial form used in addition to the FAFSA by some private colleges. Currently, about 400 schools use the CSS profile including many of the top colleges and Ivy League schools. The CSS Profile opens October 1st. It is not free, so be sure to fill out the registration form and send in the correct payment well in advance of January 1st.
