    • TIP #2: Learn about college affordability at the College Scorecard
      You can use the College Scorecard to find out more about a college's affordability and value so you can make more informed decisions about which college to attend. To start, enter the name of a college of interest to you or select factors that are important in your college search. You can find scorecards for colleges based on factors such as programs or majors offered, location, and enrollment size.
