Instructions

Please ensure that you input your SSN correctly on the Profile application. The SSN you report on your Profile must match the SSN you report on your FAFSA. If these numbers do not match, your financial aid application will be delayed.
Fee waivers
For domestic applicants: Fee waivers are granted automatically based on the information entered into the CSS Profile application. Fee waivers will only be made available to domestic undergraduate applicants who meet the fee waiver requirements. Caltech does not provide fee payment codes to domestic students.
For international applicants: Caltech will determine which international applicants are eligible for a fee waiver and provide them with a fee payment code before admission decisions are made.
For international students currently enrolled at Caltech: Fee payment codes will be provided via email to financial aid applicants.
