Does Kansas State Require the CSS Profile?

CSS Profile

Not used

Kansas State uses the FAFSA for federal aid and for need-based university or state programs such as Land Grant Promise and the Kansas Comprehensive Grant. The CSS Profile is not listed, and KSN separately matches admitted and current students with additional scholarship opportunities.

CSS school code

None

Kansas State has no CSS Profile code because it does not use the form. Submit the FAFSA and K-State Scholarship Network (KSN) directly to Kansas State instead.
