This is a highly recommended and helpful tool for shopping for aid. Both need aid and also merit aid.

Forget about the rankings, since every ranking formula is going to have a particular set of biases and assumptions baked in.

But Kiplinger has a searchable database of about 300 colleges that is very useful. If you are shopping for merit aid, you can search the 300 schools just for merit aid info. Or search/shop just for need aid.

You could dig that data out of each school’s individual CDS, but the database makes it very easy.
