How it works: family pays this year = cost of attendance minus grants, work and loans. Over four years = (family pays + loans) × 4, assuming the offer renews unchanged. Need-based aid is recalculated each year, so ask each university how it renews.
Your figures are saved on this phone or computer only. Nothing you type is sent to us.
The numbers are only part of the choice. Our guide to comparing aid offers covers renewal, outside scholarships and what to weigh besides money, and appealing an aid offer explains when to ask for more.
