Financial Aid and Scholarships
(Last updated 08/18/2008)

The most comprehensive site for Chantilly High School students seeking scholarships & financial aid advice is the Fairfax County Public Schools Scholarship Database.
(http://www.fcps.edu/ssseapps/scholarshipdb/)
There are several ways to use this site, whether you seek an alphabetical listing of scholarships or organization by deadline for the application. For more information on how to use this program, please refer to this link on the FCPS Scholarship Website Instructions (PDF file).

The section “Links to Additional Information” (http://www.fcps.edu/ssseapps/scholarshipdb/assist.cfm) offers numerous resources that can be used by students and parents, like financial aid vocabulary, early financial estimators, and a link to the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

Other Important Links:

FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
www.fafsa.ed.gov
This is the first step in the financial aid process and this website will link you to the actual FAFSA form and a frequently asked questions page. Families can begin filing the FAFSA on January 1st for the next academic year and deadlines will vary from school to school. Some scholarships that are awarded by colleges and other sources require that a student have a FAFSA on file, regardless of the actual need.
The best way to ensure that you will qualify for all available awards is to apply as early as possible.

CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE

About 600 colleges and universities use the CSS Financial Aid PROFILE form to determine eligibility for nonfederal student aid funds. Some scholarship programs also use the PROFILE form as well.
