Net Price / Award Calculator
Many times families feel they can't afford to send their child to college. This site was developed to help families, especially families with young children, plan for future educational costs. This will only calculate awards for undergraduates.
Insert data elements as requested. You must also calculate your expected family contribution (EFC); a link is provided to enable you to do this. After determining your EFC, return and calculate. This is not a financial aid application. In order to receive an actual award, a financial aid application must be submitted each year to the school of attendance.
To determine your EFC visit the College Boards EFC calculator. The second page of the EFC Calculator will determine whether you use 'dependent' or 'independent'. On the third page select 'Federal Methodology'.
