Does App State Require the CSS Profile?

App State does not require the CSS Profile and has no CSS Profile code. File the FAFSA with code 002906 by March 1, meet the November 15 or February 1 admission date for incoming scholarship review, and use ASAP if you are a current student.

CSS Profile

Not used

App State uses the FAFSA for federal, state, and university need-based aid and does not list the CSS Profile. First-year and transfer scholarship review begins with the admission file, while current students use the Appalachian Scholarship Application Portal for university and academic-college awards.

CSS school code

None

App State has no CSS Profile code because it does not use the form. Submit the FAFSA plus admission-based scholarship review and the Appalachian Scholarship Application Portal (ASAP) directly to App State instead.

These are the school's currently published 2026–27 dates. A late or updated application cycle can use different dates, so confirm the deadline shown in your applicant portal.

Which parent files?

The student and each contributor required by federal FAFSA rules use separate StudentAid.gov accounts to complete their sections, provide consent, and sign. If verification needs a parent signature, the parent creates a StudentForms account that matches the FAFSA information.

Documents and next steps

Use App State FAFSA code 002906 and monitor AppalNet for additional requirements and missing documents. Selected students open the Financial Aid tab, My Eligibility, and Student Requirements to reach StudentForms, complete assigned items, collect any parent signature, and select Finish.

Estimate the rest of your aid

The CSS Profile does not tell you what federal aid you may receive. Estimate that separately, then compare the result with each college's net price and your outside scholarship options.
