Programs and Services

At the National Center for Higher Education Access, we aim to democratize access to higher education, especially for populations that have been historically excluded. We do so through the following programs and services.

Workshops

This 1hr-workshop is for high school seniors (or prospective transfer students) and their families who have received or are expecting admission and financial aid offers.

In the workshop you will learn:


CSS Profile is the financial aid application that unlocks institutional aid and funding. It is used by mostly private colleges to determine private and institutional financial aid for domestic and international students. If you are expecting to get non-government financial aid, you will need to complete CSS Profile. It is crucial to getting admitted to college fully funded. 

This form appears scary to many because of how long and complicated it can be. During the 1.5-hour  workshop we will demystify the process and complete your CSS Profile application together. You should have all your financial information ready so you can complete the form during the workshop. This includes records of income, taxes, assets, and liabilities.
