Use Our Compare College Offers Tool to Decide Whether to Appeal Financial Aid

For the past few years, through our Compare College Offers Tool, we've worked to bring transparency to how colleges are awarding financial aid. We're accomplishing this with your help—crowdsourcing and sharing student acceptances, merit scholarship offers, and need-based aid. 

 

If your student has received any acceptances, please share them now and see real data from this year and past years. You can use this information to decide if your student should appeal for additional financial aid.
