How to File the CSS Profile
The CSS Profile is an electronic application provided by the College Board that Drexel uses to determine eligibility for Drexel need-based grant funding. Both domestic and international first-year students and full-time on-campus transfer applicants are required to complete the CSS Profile to be reviewed for institutional grant funding.
The CSS Profile becomes available each year on October 1 on the College Board website. Before completing the CSS Profile, read the following:
- Complete the CSS Profile regardless of what you think your eligibility for financial aid is.
- File as early as possible; you do not have to complete your admission application in order to begin the CSS Profile.
- Drexel's CSS Profile school code is 2194.
- There is a fee required in order to complete the CSS Profile. The College Board will automatically waive the fee for students who meet College Board's income requirements upon completion of the online application.
