The CSS Profile opens each year on October 1.
- Submit your CSS Profile using Bryn Mawr College code #2049. The College Board grants fee waivers for eligible students based on income information upon completion of the application.
- If your parents are divorced, separated, or never married, both parent households must submit a Profile.
- After reviewing your Profile data, your financial aid counselor may contact you directly and request that you send more information in order to provide you with the most accurate award possible.
CSS Profile fee waivers are available beginning October 1.
- The College Board does not offer fee waivers to international students.
- Bryn Mawr College purchases a limited number of fee payment codes each year for international students. If you need a fee payment waiver, please request one in your applicant status portal after submitting your admissions application. Priority will be given to students with complete admissions applications (this includes submitting required supplemental materials).
Both student and custodial parent should complete and sign the College Board Non-Custodial Parent Petition Waiver, and send it along with a signed, third-party statement on letterhead (e.g. high school counselor, social worker, teacher, or clergy who has first-hand knowledge about and can certify your situation) or supporting documentation to finaid@brynmawr.edu
Monitor your application status for any additional required materials.
Once you've submitted your admissions application through Common App, you'll gain access to your Bryn Mawr applicant status portal. Monitor your financial aid checklist in this portal to see that our team has received your financial aid materials.
