Does Babson Require the CSS Profile?

Babson requires the CSS Profile for institutional need-based funding and uses CSS code 3075. Its process has a separate April 1 verification deadline, requires both parent households when they live apart, and uses the same Profile for its selective international need-based scholarships.

CSS Profile

Required

Domestic applicants seeking Babson need-based grants and scholarships submit the CSS Profile and, when eligible, the FAFSA. International applicants submit the Profile without the FAFSA when applying for Babson's need-based Global Scholars Program or Canadian Scholarship.

Which parent files?

When parents are separated or divorced, the student and custodial parent complete Household A and give College Board the noncustodial parent's email for Household B. Babson expects both parents to file but accepts a documented noncustodial-parent waiver request through IDOC.

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.
