Net Price Calculators All undergraduate institutions are required to offer a net price calculator that provides students an estimate to attend their college The sticker price of a college is not always what parents end up paying Net price is the sticker price minus all merit and financial aid

Top Tips for Parents! Make financial aid part of your college visits Do a bit of detective work! Do the colleges your student wants to apply to use financial need in determining their admission decisions? Net Price Calculators Research the school’s outside scholarship policy Pay attention to financial aid deadlines Inform colleges about special circumstances

Where Do I Go From Here? Review admissions and financial aid websites Meet all application deadlines Investigate and apply for private scholarships Make sure parent’s credit is in order Financial fit is also important! Good luck!
