The Net Price Calculator was developed to help families of prospective students prepare for educational costs as part of the amended Higher Education Act of 1965. An individual student and parental financial information will be used to calculate an estimated, academic year net price that new students will pay after grants and scholarships (gift aid) to attend school and what their estimated total cost of attendance may be, including tuition, books, kits, room and board, personal expenses, as well as grants and scholarships.
