Other Websites

The websites below will help you prepare for college, plan your career, select a college, understand financial aid, calculate costs, and search for scholarships.

Please note that some websites that offer free services may include other services for which there is a fee. Because so many free resources are available, we recommend that students and their parents be very careful about paying any fees for scholarship matching services or financial aid consultants. For sound advice about using fee-based services, visit the following websites:
