Financial Planning For An American University Education

The College Board (http://www.collegeboard.com/) has created a financial planning tool that allows students to compare the costs of attending over 3300 private and public colleges and universities throughout the USA.
This tool helps you plan your American education program in two important ways:

1) Comparing the cost of schools you are interested in to find the best value.
2) Seeing each school's costs over the past several years to estimate how their prices may increase during your program.

You should only use this financial planning tool as a first step in determining which schools are the most affordable and offer the "best value". Each school provides different amounts of financial aid for international students so it's important to research what kind may be available to you before making your final school decision. American Education Partners' school placement advisors can help you search for scholarship opportunities as well as provide other services that simplify the college or university application process. Contact an AEP placement advisor at: info@americanedpartners.com to learn how we can assist you.
