Our Goals:

Empowerment

and Access

StudentAid.com offers students and families new power - the knowledge of their personal student aid eligibility and net costs before applying to colleges. Knowledge of their net costs enables students and families to make smart college choices that fit their career goals and bank accounts. Smart college choices can prevent the crushing burden of college debt.

Our new College Cost & Planning Report^® shows students and their families how to pay for college and presents information on colleges of interest in an easy-to-compare format. Enabling students and families to compare costs, retention rates, admission selectivity, and even monthly loan repayments after graduation. We seek to turn college planning from a time-consuming, high-anxiety activity to one that gives families the control and confidence to make well-informed decisions.

We strongly believe personalized knowledge about college net cost and side-by-side aid comparisons will help many students discover affordable colleges, while encouraging many more students to pursue their college dreams

As advocates of Access for All^®, StudentAid.com offers our college-affordability planning services FREE to the neediest students - families with a household incomes of less than $40,000.

Millions of students will qualify for the Access for All program each year.

We are excited to help them achieve their dream of a college education.
