Financial Aid Cost Calculators
All colleges and universities offer a calculator feature on their website that allows families to input their specific financial information and receive an estimate of their financial aid package from that institution. These calculators live on each college website and are called Net Price Calculators.
For selective colleges/universities, students can use the MyIntuition Calculator.
Standardized Testing
Colleges remain largely test optional for graduating seniors. This means that students have the option of whether they want to submit their SAT or ACT test score(s) to the colleges they are applying to.
