GRAND VIEW COLLEGE          
      College Cost Comparison Calculator    
     
    Instructions: You can use this calculator to compare your total costs after financial aid. Carefully input the information from your  
    financial aid award letters. The calculator doesn't save data, and it doesn't send the data anywhere. Use it as many times as you want.    
    The calculations will show you a comparison of 1) your out-of-pocket costs before loans, and 2) your out-of-pocket costs after loans.    
    If you are comparing private colleges, like Grand View, to public universities and/or a community college, be aware that cost is not    
    necessarily a good comparison. You'll want to look at many other factors to determine the value you get from the various institutions.

    The calculator will also help you understand the different kinds of financial aid and how they work together to help finance your education.    
    You may want to use this calculator during a conversation with your Grand View Admissions Counselor. Please call the Admissions office    
    at 800-444-6083, extension 2810.    
     
    Input your data in the yellow boxes. Your results will appear dynamically, with final totals in the gray boxes. If you change your input, click    
    Update to see new results. Click Reset to clear all data and start over.
