About MyinTuition

What it is

MyinTuition is a tool that, in only three minutes, provides a personalized estimate of what it would cost an individual to attend college.

Who benefits

Prospective students benefit from MyinTuition, especially the vast majority of college-ready students for whom the “sticker price” of college is far beyond their means. MyinTuition helps prospective students understand what college will truly cost after incorporating other factors, such as financial aid, loan and work study expectations, grant assistance and scholarships, and more. It demonstrates that college is accessible to qualified low- and middle-income students.

Why it matters

MyinTuition has great potential to jump-start economic mobility by helping low- and middle-income students apply to college who otherwise wouldn’t because they assume they do not have the financial resources needed to attend.

How it works

Based on answers to just six basic questions, MyinTuition estimates the cost of college for each individual student, including out-of-pocket costs, available loans and work-study opportunities, and grant assistance. The tool is easy to use and more straightforward than the typical net price calculator.

“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)
