The U.S. Department of Education has established a new website—The College Affordability and Transparency Center. The goal of the website is to provide a place for families to learn how much it costs to attend different colleges, to get a handle on how fast those costs are rising, and to understand the reasons for this rise. The College Affordability and Transparency List highlights schools with high and low tuitions and fees. The Net Price Calculator provides links to each college’s net price calculator to help families estimate their net cost for that college after scholarships and grants. College Navigator allows families to search for colleges by characteristics such as size, cost, majors, and retention rates. You can access the overall website at www.collegecost.ed.gov.
