This session will introduce students to the concept of “net price” and discuss how that is different from the “sticker price.” We’ll also talk about the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and how colleges use the EFC to determine eligibility for financial aid. We’ll then explore college search tools that focus on affordability that students can use to build a comprehensive college list.
