CSS Profile document checklist for Ghanaian families

Tick your family's situation and get the documents you need for the CSS Profile and IDOC, with where to get each one in Ghana and how long it takes. Gather them before you fill in the form, then take your figures from them.

For students starting university in 2027, the documents cover January to December 2025. The 2027-28 Profile opened on 1 October 2026, and many Early Decision aid deadlines fall in early November.

Your ticks are saved on this phone or computer only. Nothing you tick is sent to us.

Why each document matters, and what to do with it, is in our guide to CSS Profile documents for Ghanaian parents and our step-by-step guide to completing the CSS Profile from Ghana.

Would rather not do the forms alone?

Our Scholarship & Aid Sprint sits with your parents, builds the figures from these documents and files the CSS Profile and IDOC for every school on your list.
