Does Virginia Tech Require the CSS Profile?

Virginia Tech does not use the CSS Profile. Its 2027–28 aid guidance directs eligible students to the FAFSA and General Scholarship Application by January 22 for maximum consideration. A separate March 1 state and federal priority date is published without a year label; VASA serves eligible Virginia residents who cannot file the FAFSA.

CSS Profile

Not used

Virginia Tech does not use the CSS Profile. Eligible U.S. students submit the FAFSA for federal and many institutional aid opportunities, then complete the General Scholarship Application in Scholarship Central. Virginia residents who cannot file the FAFSA may use VASA where eligible. Some college and departmental awards have additional applications.

CSS school code

None

Virginia Tech has no CSS Profile code because it does not use the form. Submit the FAFSA or Virginia Alternative State Aid (VASA) application, plus the General Scholarship Application directly to Virginia Tech instead.

Financial aid deadline status

2027–28 FAFSA and General Scholarship Application priority dateJanuary 22, 2027

State and federal aid priority date; confirm for 2027–28March 1

Virginia Tech explicitly labels January 22 for 2027–28 maximum institutional aid and scholarship consideration. Its Money Matters FAQ also gives March 1 for state and federal aid without an aid-year label; confirm that date for your intake. Neither is a universal final FAFSA deadline.

Which parent files?

Virginia Tech does not request a CSS Profile from either parent. A dependent FAFSA applicant follows the federal contributor questions; eligible Virginia residents using VASA follow that application's family-information rules.

Documents and next steps

Use FAFSA code 003754 and complete the General Scholarship Application through the applicant portal's Scholarship Central access after applying for admission. Applicants need not wait for an admission decision. Follow the financial-aid portal and any college application for requested records or additional scholarship steps.

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.
