Does Mizzou Require the CSS Profile?

Mizzou does not require the CSS Profile and has no CSS Profile code. For fall 2027 freshman scholarship review, apply for admission and submit the General Scholarship Application by December 1, 2026; send required official materials by December 15 and the FAFSA with code 002516 by February 1, 2027.

CSS Profile

Not used

Mizzou uses the FAFSA for federal loans, most grants, and need-based scholarship review and does not list the CSS Profile in its undergraduate process. Admission can trigger automatic merit review, while the Mizzou Scholarship Application Portal handles the separate General Scholarship Application.

CSS school code

None

Mizzou has no CSS Profile code because it does not use the form. Submit the FAFSA and Mizzou General Scholarship Application directly to Mizzou instead.

Which parent files?

A dependent student invites the parent contributor or contributors identified by federal FAFSA rules, and every required person provides consent and a signature through an individual StudentAid.gov account. Mizzou does not request a CSS Profile from another household.

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.
