<p>For the target college, I google: “____ college” “financial statement”</p>
<p>I usually have to wade through some financial aid hits, which are not what we want.</p>
<p>If I don’t get a direct connect from that, then I go to the college’s web site and search on “financial statement”, and if that doesn’t work, I then search for the responsible administrative department and peruse their pages. Departments can be called Finance, budgeting, bursar, controller, and other financial lingo. I have struck out on many colleges that do not appear to post the audited financials. Perhaps its the same secretive bunch as those that don’t post their Common Data Sets?</p>
