For all those students interested in college, but unsure how they are going to pay for it, use the Net Price Calculator.
The NPC is a calculator that is federally mandated - all colleges that accept federal aid MUST have the NPC on their website. The NPC helps students estimate their "net price" to attend each institution. It is generally a great tool that helps families determine which schools are actually affordable.
Remember...
Net Price = Sticker Price (Full Cost) - Grants & Scholarships
Net Price is the total each student is responsible for paying after receiving free money to attend the institution.
To find the NPC on a school's website...
-Go to the school's financial aid webpage.
-Click on the calculator link. It may be labeled "Net Price Calculator, "Calculate your Costs," "Tuition calculator," or something like that.
BUT beware: sometimes the NPC can be misleading.
