Why College Abacus? Accessible Transparent Individualized • College Abacus is free to use. We built a revenue model with no fees from students, parents or counselors. We do not sell the financial information of our users. • College Abacus is Spanish & English accessible. We built a mirror site in Spanish to serve more first-generation students and families. • College Abacus provides financial aid estimates - direct from schools to students. We do not use our own algorithm – we take the information direct from schools. • College Abacus allows users to compare schools directly, unlike in regular net price calculators. • College Abacus provides individualized grant aid estimates for students. No student is average – so the schools' financial aid estimates adjust for need. • College Abacus includes merit aid, when available. Many schools have also included adjustments for merit aid – which we display. ¿Español? vs
