Net Price Calculators

Many people know that the federal government now requires colleges to provide a net-price calculator on their website so that parents can get an idea of how much it will actually cost them to send their child to college.  It is important to remember however, that every college may use a different formula for calculating costs, so these on-line estimates are generally just that...an estimate.  We still believe that families should go ahead and apply for financial aid, because you just never know.
