- Social Security card
- Driver‘s license (if any)

CSS/PROFILE
Students applying to certain schools (listed below) must file a College Scholarship Service (CSS) Profile, which provides college with financial information beyond what is provided on the FAFSA later in the year. Not all colleges require the CSS Profile. Make sure you need this for your college before you fill out. Check the list below or contact your college's financial aid office.
THIS IS THE ONLY APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL AID FOR WHICH YOU'LL HAVE TO PAY.
ANYTHING ELSE REQUIRING PAYMENT IS A SCAM!
You may complete the CSS Profile, after October 1, here.
In-state colleges which require the Profile are:
Davidson College
Duke University
Elon College
UNC-Chapel Hill
Wake Forest University
Students who might need college application fee waivers, due to financial difficulty, must first apply for SAT fee waivers. See Mrs. Hough for more information about this process.
Please note that our high school College Board (CEEB) code is 342036. Not only will you need this number when registering for the SAT or other College Board tests, but also might need to report it on a college or scholarship application
