For many students, early insights into student aid eligibility and out-of-pocket
costs could mean the difference between applying to college or giving up on a college
dream. We believe that early planning and financial preparedness are critical to
ensure a successful pursuit of higher education. Because of this belief we are committed
to helping all families get the information they need to make smart college choices.
USA Funds® is a nonprofit organization that has worked since 1960 to enhance
students' preparation for, access to and success in higher education. Many families—particularly
lower-income families with no previous college experience—are discouraged
from sending their children to college because they don't have access to realistic
estimates of college costs and their eligibility for student financial aid. Moreover,
selecting the right higher education program is critical to the success of these
students. USA Funds' support of Access for All™ will help ensure
that thousands of lower-income students have free access to a personalized college
cost and planning report to help them better understand their college costs and
make more-informed choices of a higher education program.
