The Kentucky Community and Technical College System has launched a net price calculator that provides students with a personalized estimate of their college expenses after financial aid.
The Meadow Price net price calculator is available across all 16 KCTCS colleges.
The main benefit of the tool is to help students estimate how much it would cost to attend college and how much financial aid they could expect to receive to cover those costs without having to go through the full admissions application or FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid ) application process.
For students who are curious about whether they could afford to go to college, the mobile-friendly tool provides quick feedback on the real cost of college for their situation.
“We believe in providing our students with the tools they need to make the best possible decisions about their education,” said KCTCS President Ryan Quarles. “Financial transparency is crucial, and our new net price calculator is a significant step forward in helping our students understand their potential costs so they can plan accordingly.”
Prospective and current students will need to input their financial information to receive a detailed estimate of their out-of-pocket costs, factoring in scholarships, grants and other forms of financial aid.
KCTCS’ new net price calculator went live July 1 and is accessible through each college’s website.
