What is the Profile used for and when should that be sent in?
The Profile form is used by some colleges to obtain information that is not obtained from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Colleges use this form to determine a student’s eligibility for their institutional aid. Each college sets their own deadline for when the Profile form is needed. To check to see if a certain college requires the Profile Form you can call the financial aid office of the school you are applying to or check the College Board’s website at www.collegeboard.com. The College Board produces the Profile Form.
