As you start to receive financial aid offers from the colleges where you鈥檝e been accepted, it鈥檚 important to carefully review and compare the true costs and details of these aid packages. This will ensure that you know how much you鈥檒l actually pay for your education.
One of the biggest mistakes students make when reviewing their offer letters is assuming that the biggest scholarship awarded offers the best deal. Financial aid eligibility varies from school to school, so it helps to compare your financial aid offers and costs by organizing the information into a worksheet. Below are examples of costs of attendance, financial aid offers, and the net cost, which is what you would actually pay:
| Cost of Attendance | Grants/Scholarships | Net Price | Student Loan Eligibility | NET COST | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| College A | $50,000 | $23,000 | $27,000 | $5,500 | $21,500 |
| College B | $30,000 | $7,500 | $22,500 | $5,500 | $17,000 |
| College C | $15,000 | $1,000 | $15,000 | $5,500 | $8,500 |
- Determine the cost of attendance for each school Be sure to include tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation, parking, and miscellaneous expenses. Contact the college鈥檚 financial aid office if the cost of attendance is not listed on your offer letter or online.
- Subtract your grants/scholarships Grants and scholarships do not have to be paid back, so subtract the amount of grants/scholarships a college offers you from the college鈥檚 cost of attendance. The remaining amount is your net price, or out-of-pocket cost. *
- Consider your student loans If you plan to use the student loans offered to you, subtract the student loans from the net price/out-of-pocket cost. That will give you your bottom-line net cost for each school.
- Compare net costs When choosing where to go to college, you will want to consider more than just cost, but knowing the affordability of each school can help you make an informed decision.
*Work Study awards are not considered in this calculation, since students are paid hourly for the actual hours worked and can be used for miscellaneous expenses.
To help you better plan for your college costs, don鈥檛 forget to consider expenses like books and supplies, parking, and personal expenses. At 天美影音直播, we budget $2,150 annually for these costs.
