10 reasons why the TrueCost Calculator has become the online net price calculator of choice
Dozens of colleges and universities have already turned to the TrueCost Calculator to fulfill the federal requirement and strengthen their recruitment efforts. Here are 10 reasons they have cited:
1) Is easy to complete. Students and/or families can get an estimate in just a few minutes. Many other calculators are very complicated (even requiring the full FAFSA data), and failure to complete an estimate does a disservice to both prospective
students and your campus.
2) Can be highly customized to your merit aid awards. The TrueCost Calculator can be customized to reflect awards based on major, student demographics, academic ability, and other campus-specific factors—something the federal calculator cannot do.
3) Delivers exceptional accuracy. Because it’s so highly customized, the TrueCost Calculator delivers precise, accurate net cost estimates to prospective students and their families.
4) Built by financial aid and enrollment specialists from an enrollment management perspective to further improve your conversion and yield rates.
5) Allows selected ongoing modifications at no additional cost to the institution.
6) Provides extensive reporting capabilities. In addition to giving students a quick, accurate estimate, the TrueCost Calculator delivers extensive data on what students enter. You can run reports and learn valuable information on the financial needs, academic profile, and other key indicators from students who complete estimates.
7) Created by a firm with a long history of providing financial aid services to colleges and universities. Noel-Levitz partners with 200 institutions annually in the strategic use of financial aid and more than 1,000 colleges and universities in all service areas.
8) Includes a three-year price guarantee. There’s no introductory pricing that balloons after the trial period.
9) Is regularly improved, based on input and analytics from the community of campuses using the TrueCost Calculator.
10) Gives you a dedicated team of a financial aid specialist and a tech specialist, so that you can both implement the calculator easily and better understand the data you receive
