Edvifi

Know what college costs before you apply.

Edvifi keeps your college list, your deadlines and your financial aid in one place. It also works out what each school would cost your family, which is usually nothing like the price on its website.

The price on the website is for nobody

A college publishes one cost of attendance and that is the number everyone sees. What you actually pay depends on your family's income and whether you live in the state.

Edvifi works out a net price for your situation and puts it beside every school you look at. When a college hasn't reported enough for us to do that, we say so instead of guessing a number at you.

A panel from Edvifi showing average net price of $23,397 a year against an average published cost of attendance of $43,904, with Berea College as the lowest at $5,836 and the University of Michigan the highest at $59,978.
A real list of fourteen saved schools. The gap between those two figures is the whole point.

Every school, every date, one place

Add a college and you get its deadlines, its application fee, whether it takes fee waivers, and the checklist that gets it submitted. Early Action, Early Decision, Regular Decision and aid deadlines all go on one calendar.

Nobody waives a fee you didn't ask about, so Edvifi tells you which schools will.

Schools you would not have found

Every college in the federal College Scorecard is in here, more than six thousand of them. Say what you are after and Edvifi scores how well each one fits, puts your admission odds in a band, and shows your price next to it.

It won't print a percentage for your chances. No one can work that out for a single seventeen-year-old, so we don't pretend to.

Four colleges picked for the student in Edvifi. Solano Community College is labelled Path to your dream school, College of Alameda Affordable, close to home, and College of San Mateo and the University of California-Santa Cruz Good fit, likely admit. Each carries an estimated price after aid, from $294 to $18,549 a year.
Fit, admission odds and your price, on every school in the country we have the data for.

The forms that decide what you pay

The FAFSA sets what you actually pay and it is an easy thing to stall on. Edvifi tracks where you have got to. For colleges that promise free tuition under a certain household income, it shows the terms and what you would have to do to qualify.

There are around 475 scholarships in here as well, each one read and entered by hand rather than scraped off a listings site.

What it won't do

It won't get you in anywhere, and it can't tell you your chances. It won't write anything for you.

Every net price here is an estimate. Colleges run their own calculators, and the only real number is the one in the aid letter they send you.

Edvifi is for walking into all of that already knowing roughly where you stand.
