Applying for financial aid

To apply for financial assistance at Reed College, you must complete three separate application forms.

  • College Scholarship Service (CSS) PROFILE: The PROFILE assesses eligibility for institutional grant funds. Register for the PROFILE application at www.collegeboard.com. Once you have registered, you can begin the online application immediately. Submit the completed PROFILE application to the College Board by the indicated deadline. If you have questions regarding the PROFILE application process, send an email to help@cssprofile.org or call 305/829-9793.

    If parents are divorced or separated, only the parent (and stepparent, if remarried) that the student lived with most in the past 12 months should complete the PROFILE. However, Reed expects both parents to assist in financing a student’s education; therefore, the student’s non-custodial parent must complete the Non-Custodial PROFILE (NCP). The Non-Custodial PROFILE is available at https://ncprofile.collegeboard.com.
  • Free Application for Federal Student Aid: The FAFSA, which assesses your student’s eligibility for federal and state funds, is available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. A paper copy can be obtained by calling 800/4FEDAID. This form may not be filed before January 1, but must be filed by the indicated deadline.
On the PROFILE and FAFSA forms, you may list multiple institutions to which you want your financial assessment sent. Upon completion of their assessments, CSS and the Federal Student Aid processors will send their analyses to each of the listed colleges. Therefore, if your student will apply for financial assistance at Reed College, you must list Reed in the appropriate sections of the PROFILE and FAFSA forms.
