Who it’s for
Award letters are confusing. Enter each school’s cost of attendance, grants, scholarships, loans and work-study.
The tracker shows the net cost — what you’d pay after grants and scholarships — so you can compare fairly.
Questions
- What counts as free aid?
- Grants and scholarships usually don’t need to be repaid. Loans do. Always confirm with each school’s financial aid office.
- Who can see my entries?
- Only you. Every entry is private to your account and is never sold or shared.
- Can I export my data?
- Yes. Export any tracker to a CSV spreadsheet anytime, or print a clean planner page.
