Net Price Calculators

Net price calculators consider your family's financial information and give you an estimate of the cost you will pay. Ask a parent or guardian to complete it with you. Some calculators also consider the possibility of merit money (this is money you could receive because of test scores and/or GPA). These calculators will ask students for their GPA and/or test scores. The Net Price Calculator Center allows you to search for any college's net price calculator.
