what's it going to cost?
The listed price is not what you will pay for college. It is the cost of yearly tuition, room and board, books, and other fees. The net price is the amount you will pay when colleges subtract financial aid from the total.
College costs begin with college applications. See a quick list below:
College | Cost | Covers | Fee Waiver? | Fee Waiver Information |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Common Black Application | $35 | 55 member colleges | No | No waiver. |
