Demystifying the financial aid process for East Coast colleges with a detailed breakdown of the FAFSA and CSS Profile applications. I explain the critical differences between these two financial aid forms and how to maximize your chances of receiving the funding you deserve.

• FAFSA basics: Opens October 1st annually and serves as gateway to federal grants, work-study, and loans
• Submit FAFSA early as some aid is distributed first-come, first-served
• CSS Profile: Required by many private East Coast colleges for institutional aid
• CSS Profile differences: More detailed financial assessment including home equity and business value
• Common mistakes include missing deadlines, listing wrong colleges, and not reporting special circumstances
• Millions in aid goes unclaimed each year because families don't complete the process correctly
• Resources available through StudentAid.gov, College Board, and individual college financial aid offices
