FAFSA: The Key to Federal Aid
The FAFSA is the primary application for federal student aid. It collects information about your financial situation to determine your eligibility for grants, scholarships, and loans. Completing the FAFSA is essential for receiving any type of federal financial aid.
CSS Profile: Required for Some Schools
Some schools, including Old Dominion University, require applicants to also submit the CSS Profile. The CSS Profile is a more detailed financial aid application that collects additional information about your family’s assets and income. Completing the CSS Profile can increase your chances of receiving financial aid.
