Undergraduate Application Requirements and Deadlines

Brandeis meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for all domestic undergraduates, and for all international undergraduates who apply for aid during the admission process.

1. CSS profile is only required for need based financial aid
2. Parent(s)' and student's 2022 Federal Income Tax Returns, with all pages, schedules, business  returns, W-2s and signatures (upload via IDOC)

 

In order to simplify the application process, Brandeis requests that entering first year regular decision undergraduate applicants initially file only the CSS Profile and the FAFSA. These forms allow us to estimate an applicant's eligibility for both Brandeis and federally-funded aid. However, you may apply for just federal and state aid by filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid only.

Please contact us if you have any questions about filing the PROFILE or FAFSA forms, or access the Profile FAQs or FAFSA FAQs.  Students who do not submit a financial aid application before they have been admitted will be placed on a waiting list for grant and scholarship funds. 

* Upon deposit to Brandeis, you will be asked to submit complete 2022 Federal Parent and Student Tax Returns (including any Schedules and W-2s) to verify the data provided on the Profile and FAFSA.
