Compare aid across schools

Brandeis showed one school's real price upfront. We do that for every school.

Brandeis just launched “Faye” — a tool that tells prospective students what they'll really pay before they even apply. It's genuinely useful — but it's also structurally limited to one school. A Brandeis tool can never tell you Tufts would be cheaper.

This page does that. Pick the schools your kid is considering, and we'll show you sticker price, average net cost after aid, and graduation rate side-by-side. Sorted by what your family actually pays.

Personalize these numbers to your family.

The numbers above are averages — what the federal net-price-calculator data shows the typical family pays. Your family is not typical. We're building a tool that takes your household income, your kid's GPA and test scores, and gives you a personalized net-price estimate per school, plus a merit-aid likelihood score. Sign up to get notified when it ships.

Net price = sticker price minus the average institutional grant aid for that school, sourced from IPEDS / Department of Education data. Real numbers vary by family income, student stats, and financial aid year. Use this for shortlist comparison; verify with each school's own Net Price Calculator before committing.

KidToCollege is free to use and editorially independent. Data sourced from public records including IPEDS, Common Data Sets, College Board and FAFSA.gov. Always verify deadlines and requirements directly with institutions. Not a guarantee of admission or financial aid.
