Federal Aid Only: Students that are not interested in applying for need-based Bryn Mawr Grant aid, but would like to take advantage of U.S. Department of Education Federal Student Aid, including Federal Direct Stafford loans, are not required to complete the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE or the Noncustodial Profile, or provide Noncustodial parent tax and income documentation. Contact Student Financial Services to state this intent at sfs@brynmawr.edu so that we may adjust our expectation of what you must provide before your financial aid application is complete.

Regular Decision students who submit an admissions application remain eligible for Bryn Mawr College Merit Scholarship universally, as it is not contingent on need.
