Compare schools using the College Score Card. Students can narrow down their school choices using individual preferences and the results will not only give you admissions requirements but financial aid resources including expected costs by family incomes.
The Financial Aid Shopping Sheet (PDF) is a consumer tool that participating institutions will use to notify students about their financial aid package. It is a standardized form that is designed to simplify the information that prospective students receive about costs and financial aid so that they can easily compare institutions and make informed decisions about where to attend school.
Consider completing the FAFSA worksheet before filling out the online form. It will make the process much easier. More questions? Contact your student's counselor or better yet, call a local college or university's financial aid office. They welcome your questions now as it tends to make things easier for them down the road when potential problems may arise.
