The University of Wisconsin-Madison is changing its financial aid process, according to The Capital Times, and starting this fall, applying students will need to complete a second, longer application for a chance to obtain the support.
UW-Madison applicants will need to fill out the CSS Profile, an online application used by around 270 U.S. colleges, universities and scholarship programs to award institutional aid. Students can begin working on their CSS Profile Oct. 1.
The form is separate from the one used to apply for federal financial aid.
The university said requiring the application will help direct funds to students who are most in need.
