MyinTuition, a revolutionary online tool, ensures that students and their families have quick and easy access to the information they need to make decisions about college affordability. MyinTuition shows the projected cost of college once financial aid is factored in, helping students understand and plan for what college will actually cost.

“My mom and I ...
We sat together. We went through our financial information, plugged it into MyinTuition, and we got our estimate. We said, ‘OK, let’s apply.’” “MyinTuition was the first proof I got of what was up to that point an unconfirmed myth that certain schools will cover 100% of your financial need.” “I used the MyinTuition tool to help show my family that my dream school was still an option. …I could show my family real data, rather than just estimates. It was also much simpler to use than other cost estimators.” “I wouldn't have applied at all had MyinTuition not given me hope that it could be affordable.” "We used MyinTuition extensively before considering where to apply to college. We found the tool VERY user friendly without having to dig out tax documents etc."

Our Belief

Students should be considered for admission solely on their talents, potential, and individual qualities rather than on their financial resources.

Our Solution

Many prospective students particularly from mid- and low-income backgrounds— believe they cannot afford many colleges and universities. The MyinTuition Quick College Cost Estimator, demonstrates that a top college is not only within reach for qualified students, but can often be their most a affordable option.

Our Innovation

This innovative tool provides a reliable estimate of what a family will have to pay based on just six simple questions. In three minutes, you’ll have a good idea of what an individual school will approximately cost for you to attend.

We want to move the financial question of higher education to a much earlier stage in the process. We want to move the discussion past “sticker shock” by generating a reliable estimate to a prospect much earlier in the process.

What People are Saying

“A simplifed financial-aid calculator—much easier to use than the federally mandated calculators that most colleges create—has begun spreading beyond Wellesley College ...[raising] the possibility that information on actual college costs will become more widely available.”
— David Leonhardt, New York Times

“We want students to apply because they think it is the best fit for them. We don’t want a misperception about cost to be a barrier. MyinTuition helps prospective students and their families quickly get past those misconceptions.”
— William Dudley, President, Washington and Lee University

"I used the MyinTuition tool at multiple points in the college search and application process. I was relieved to find the numbers manageable from the start. The most important time I used it, however, was the night after I got my acceptance letter and before I received my financial aid letter. It reduced my stress greatly to see the numbers, and when I got my award letter the next morning, my actual numbers were very similar... And affordable."
— Ciara Cheli-Colando (Wellesley College, Class of 2020)

How can we fix the college affordability problem?
It is no secret that we have a higher education affordability problem in the United States. The staggering costs can amount to $80,000 per year at private colleges and universities and $30,000 per year at public institutions. Who can afford that? Yet the true cost of college is typically much less than that because of financial aid. The real problem is that students from lower-income families still face charges far greater than they can afford even after accounting for financial aid.

In my forthcoming book on the crisis in college pricing, my research team used net price calculators at 200 randomly chosen four-year residential institutions to estimate how much colleges actually charge students at different income levels.
