A useful tool for incoming students can be found at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Paying for College. This resource provides detailed financial information on higher education institutions and students can enter actual information to better calculate their circumstances.

The College Scorecard is another resource for students to evaluate schools.

The National Center for Education Statistics offers the College Navigator to help students with various information when comparing schools.

The US Department of Veterans Affairs has its own GI Bill Comparison Tool to compare academic programs and benefits by the school.
