Net Price Calculator

<p>How far along is Notre Dame on getting a Net Price Calculator on its web site? This is required by the Higher Education and Opportunity Act. All colleges will need a Net Price Calculators by October of 2011.</p>

<p>Haven’t seen one, but that looks like a good measure.</p>

<p>Notre Dame’s Financial Aid page now has link to Net Price Calulator.

<p>Has anyone used the Net Price Calculator? How does it compare to your FA package?
When we used our FAFSA and CSS data, Notre Dame’s Net Price was well under Northwestern.</p>

<p>^^^
Same result. ND was very generous and Northwestern was, um, not so much. At least in the calculator–haven’t seen any real-world offers yet.</p>

<p>Does ND take into account the tuition families pay for Catholic grade and high school for siblings? That might explain the difference, as I would guess Northwestern does not.</p>

<p>I have not looked at the calculator yet, but in real life, ND was quite generous, and Northwestern, ummm, not so much.</p>
