This is a task for you to complete once you have received all your financial aid and scholarship communication.
Calculate the Gap
For each school, calculate the total value of their offering. Then calculate the total tuition fees along with all your relevant expenses to attend this school. You can download our College Financial Aid Calculator below to do this easily.
Finally, along with your parents, discuss what part of the difference between the financial aid and the tuition fees you are able to cover. Then calculate the “gap”, the sum that remains outstanding.
Appeal
Contact the admissions department of the schools and discuss the possibility of further financial aid.
