Financial Aid Night
Monday, October 21 at 6:30 pm in the Theater
A representative from the Georgia Student Finance Commission will review the financial aid process, including information on the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), the HOPE Scholarship, and other state aid programs. The FAFSA is scheduled to go live on Oct 1.
The CSS Profile, short for "College Scholarship Service Profile," is an online application used by many colleges and universities to determine a student's eligibility for non-federal financial aid, such as institutional scholarships, grants, and need-based aid. College Board administers the CSS Profile.
​
Many private and selective institutions require the CSS Profile to assess a student's eligibility for their own financial aid programs. These institutions often have their own specific financial aid criteria and deadlines, which can differ from those of the FAFSA. Students and their families must complete the CSS Profile online (typically available in the fall for the following school year) and submit it along with any required documentation and fees. It's recommended to check the specific deadlines for each college since they can vary.
