CSS Profile Fee Waiver

CSS Profile Fee Waiver

You may qualify for a W&L-specific fee payment code if the CSS Profile fee poses a financial hardship to your family. To be considered for a W&L-specific CSS payment code, you must follow the steps indicated below. Please do not contact the Office of Financial Aid or Admissions to request a CSS fee waiver.

NOTE: Only W&L admission applicants are eligible to receive a fee waiver.

  1. Submit your application for admission to W&L.
  2. Complete the CSS Profile Waiver form in your applicant portal.
  3. All applicants who complete the first 2 steps will be considered for a waiver by the following dates:
    • Early Decision I: Nov. 15
    • Early Decision II: Jan. 15
    • Regular Decision: Feb. 7
  4. If approved, you will receive a CSS code that you can use to submit your CSS Profile to W&L. Please be aware that there is no appeal process if you are not offered a fee waiver by the dates listed above. You will need to purchase the CSS Profile with your own funds.

The only option to receive a fee waiver code is to follow the steps above. We are unable to respond to any email requests for a fee waiver.
