CSS Profile

Not used

Sacramento State uses the FAFSA or California Dream Act Application for eligible federal, state, and university aid and does not list the CSS Profile. Its scholarship application uses one form to match students with hundreds of institutional opportunities, although some matches request additional information.

CSS school code

None

Sacramento State has no CSS Profile code because it does not use the form. Submit the FAFSA or California Dream Act Application plus the Sac State Scholarships Application directly to Sacramento State instead.

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.
