This is an online application created and maintained by the College Board that allows students to apply for non-federal financial aid. It is primarily designed to give member institutions of the College Board a comprehensive look at the financial and family situation of students and their families to use in determining eligibility for institutional financial aid. It is more detailed than the FAFSA and should only be completed if a college requires it. There are fees to complete and send this application.
