Enrolling Students
You received your award. Now what?
If you have received a financial aid award letter, that means you’ve already successfully completed the CSS Profile (due Nov. 8, 2025 for ED I and Jan. 15, 2026 for ED II and RD). Know that in future years if your family's circumstances remain relatively unchanged, and your aid application meets our priority returning student financial aid deadlines, you will receive a similar aid package.
