How it Works
Image
Step 1: Add Your Schools
Start by adding the colleges you’re considering. This lets you organize your options and keep track of important details in one place.
Image
Step 2: Upload Financial Aid Letters
Snap a photo or upload a copy of each financial aid award. Our app reads and standardizes the information, so you can easily understand what each school offers.
Image
Step 3: Add Your Resources
Have a 529 education savings plan, a scholarship, or a gift from grandma? Enter all these into Award Advisor™ to get a full picture of how you can pay for each college and what (if any) remaining funding you need to find.
Image
Step 4: Compare Costs
Then, pick up to four schools to compare them together. We’ll show you estimated costs—including tuition, fees, and aid—so you can see what you’d really pay at each school.
Share Your Results
Easily share your standardized award letters and comparisons with family members, counselors, or anyone helping you with college decisions.
