In this episode, Hollis and Jordana take a dive into the cost of college and how financial aid works. We also discuss types of aid, financial aid documentation, resources and tools to use, and why considering cost of attendance is a factor that all families need to consider when building a college list. One of the best tools to use to get an idea of what the cost of specific institutions may look like is the Net Price Calculator. This is a tool that is on college websites that when run, provides a ballpark number of what the cost of attendance might be based on student and family information along with the school's costs. You can find each school's Net Price Calculator by searching in your web browser "[Institution Name] Net Price Calculator."
