The CSS Profile opens each year on October 1.
Next, submit your FAFSA
- Use Bryn Mawr's college code (#003237).
- In order to be eligible for federal financial aid, you must provide your consent for the Department of Education to receive your federal tax information from the IRS.
- For dependent students, your parents must also consent in order for the student to be eligible for federal aid.
- Spouses of independent students must also consent in order for the student to be eligible.

Send your tax documents via IDOC
- Full federal income tax returns are required to apply for institutional financial aid.
- When you complete the CSS Profile, the College Board will prompt you to submit federal tax returns or non-tax filer statements using the Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC).
- For institutional financial aid (Beacon Tuition Award, Bryn Mawr Grant etc.) you must provide federal tax returns (form 1040) all form w-2s and applicable schedules (1,2,3,c,d,e,f, k1) as well as all business taxes (1065,1120, 1120s) for all parents.
- All federal tax returns must be signed by the taxpayer or have a PTIN from a tax preparer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? See some common ones below.
Bryn Mawr requires financial information from both custodial and noncustodial parents/households. If you have special circumstances that warrant consideration for your noncustodial parent, complete the College Board Non-Custodial Parent Petition Waiver. Please be aware that Bryn Mawr College requires an additional third-party statement signed and on letterhead along with the College Board Waiver.
When you go to your Financial Aid Portal, make sure that all sources of aid have been either accepted or declined. Any awards left at pending can keep aid from disbursing. If, for example you have a Bryn Mawr Grant and Federal Work Study, leaving your Work Study at pending can keep your Bryn Mawr Grant from disbursing
