Overview
The Problem
In today’s digital economy, not everyone has the means to attend university without financial aid. We want people to make informed financial decisions when choosing a university, and we also want to make people aware of the resources they can use to get scholarships for their university of choice.
The Solution
We created a simple web application where users put their university of choice into the search bar. The user then clicks the search button, and it returns the cost of attendance per year after financial aid for an average student. To make college more affordable, we directly connect students with resources and links to scholarships to help them finance their education.
