College Cost Comparison Worksheet

Chart your course to see which college or university best fits your financial resources. Your total in Funds Available should be at least the same amount as your total for Expenses. If not, you have a funding gap, meaning that you have more expenses than funds available and will need to take out a loan or seek other sources of funds.
