College Money Method - CSS Profile Guidance
The College Scholarship Service Profile (CSS Profile) is a top priority for many college applicants and their parents applying for financial aid. It is time to complete this form that colleges use to determine the financial needs of students applying for Early Decision or Early Application.
To learn more about completing the CSS Profile, watch a live session recording with Paul Martin of College Money Method from our Saint Andrew's Resource page using the Password: sascmm. The video contains chapters for each section of the application so that families can go directly to the information they need.
You can also read Mr. Martin’s communication about the CSS Profile and resources for applicants.

As college applicant families, you likely have questions about the financial aid process in light of the FAFSA delay. Please read College Money Method’s message from Paul Martin to financial aid applicants about the timing and next steps for how to move forward in completing a FAFSA for your family. Please note that we advise you to complete this application by mid-January.
