ClearAid

A free web app that turns confusing college financial aid letters into one clear number: what each school will really cost.

ClearAid comparing two sample aid offers: Lakemont College costs $36,000 a year and Ridgeview University $46,000, so Lakemont is $10,000 a year cheaper.

Ridgeview's letter lists more "aid," but most of it is loans. Lakemont saves $10,000/yr
01

The problem

Every college formats its aid letter differently, and many list loans under "aid." The school that looks most generous can end up costing the most. Students in my grade will open these letters soon, and most of us won't know how to read them.

02

The idea

Type in the numbers from each letter. ClearAid sorts the money into grants you keep, work-study you earn, and loans you pay back, then shows the real yearly price side by side.

03

What it calculates

Net price after grants, total debt over four years, and an estimated monthly loan payment after graduation. Everything stays on the student's own device.

About

I like figuring out how money actually works, and then making it simple enough for someone my age to understand.

I'm a junior at Sewanhaka High School in Floral Park, New York, and I plan to study finance in college.

Outside class I'm in Future Business Leaders of America, I play varsity cricket, and I volunteer at my local masjid.
