Don’t let concerns about the potential cost of going to college be a barrier to earning your credential. There are a variety of resources available to help pay for education or training, including some that don’t need to be paid back.
Calculate Your Costs
Your costs will depend on what college or career school you choose to attend, what type of credential you choose to pursue, and how much assistance you receive through scholarships and financial aid.
As a start point, you should compare the institutions and programs you are considering by their published tuition and fees and net price. Published tuition and fees refer to the amount of tuition and required fees covering a full academic year most frequently charged to students at a particular institution. If tuition is charged on a per-credit-hour basis, the average full-time credit hour load for an entire academic year is used to estimate average tuition.
