It's important when planning for college to consider all of the costs associated with getting an education. In addition to tuition and fees, you'll need to think about the cost of living, insurance, housing, etc.
If you'd like to get an early idea of what your actual expenses might look like when you're a student, try filling out the budget worksheet. You'll be amazed by where all of your funds go!
We have also created a glossary of common financial aid terms and definitions to assist you with your college planning efforts.
If you're still in high school, it may be helpful to look at our special web guide for high school students, which is designed to guide you along as you begin to start thinking about college. A checklist of what you need to think about, grade by grade, is outlined below (this information is also contained in our Financial Aid Handbook).
