Financial Aid Award Comparison

Cost and Financial Aid are important factors in making a college choice, so comparing your financial aid offers is a critical step in the process of deciding where to attend college. The most economical option is not always the college with the lowest overall price tag. As you compare your financial aid offers, consider not only the total amount of aid, but what portion of aid is grants and loans.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and College Board's Big Future both offer online comparison tools.
