Dear PROFILE User:
The College Board is pleased to announce
some changes to the CSS/Financial Aid
PROFILE Student Guide and its
distribution resulting from our efforts
to be better global citizens. (If you
are not the proper contact for college
financial aid information, please pass
this message on to the proper recipient
at your high school.)
To begin with, we reworked the
PROFILE Student Guide itself. Our
new one-page brochure focuses on the
information that the guidance counselors
we contacted at both public and private
schools across the nation agreed was
most essential, including a list of
colleges that require the PROFILE
application.
The new PROFILE Student Guide,
available in PDF format at
the College
Board's CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE page,
can be posted to your school and PTA/PTO
websites (providing information to your
students 24/7), e-mailed to students and
their parents, and printed out or copied
as many times as you wish, any time you
wish. The PDF format provides greater
flexibility in reaching students and
their parents, and will help us in our
attempts to "go green."
Additionally, this year we will not
automatically mail printed copies of the
Student Guides to schools. We
encourage you to use the PDF, but if you
find that it does not meet your needs,
you may order printed copies from the
College Board using a new online order
process also available at
CSS/Financial
Aid PROFILE. Orders must be
placed by June 1, 2009, to be included
in the August distribution.
If you have any questions, please
contact us at
help@cssprofile.org.
