Estimate your college costs

Understanding the true cost to attend college is an important part of the college decision. The U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard is an interactive tool that provides key indicators about the estimated cost and value of institutions across the country to help you choose a school that is well-suited to meet your needs, priced affordably, and consistent with your educational and career goals.

We support the College Scorecard as a leading resource to help students and families make smart, informed decisions about where to enroll for higher education.

Looking for College Abacus or Pell Abacus?
With the College Scorecard widely available to the public, we are no longer developing the College Abacus and Pell Abacus. These tools duplicated the features and functionality of the College Scorecard, which is updated on a regular basis. We encourage you to use the College Scorecard to compare costs, degree programs and outcomes for the schools you are interested in.
