A financial aid hub that speaks plain English

Financial aid has its own vocabulary, and most of it seems designed to confuse. The new Financial aid section walks students and families through what actually matters: a free Student Aid Index estimate so you know roughly where you stand, and guidance on what to do with that number.

Pro members also get scholarship guidance and a deeper aid strategy layer. But the core, understanding what college will cost you and why, is free, because that information should never be the thing behind a paywall.
