U.S. citizens and permanent residents
College Board offers automatic CSS Profile fee waivers for U.S. applicants from families making up to $100,000 a year. Such fee waivers are available for both custodial and noncustodial parents. Students find out if they are eligible for CSS Profile fee waivers while completing the online Profile. For more information, see CSS Profile's information on fee waivers.
International students
We will begin reviewing requests for CSS Profile fee payment codes beginning in November for Early Action applicants and in February for Regular Decision applicants. Currently, the offices of admission and financial aid do not require the CSS profile to proceed with evaluating your applications for admissions and financial aid.
