CCollegeMatcher

🌍 For international applicants · 1,466 US colleges

The price you were quoted probably isn't your price.

Most US college tools show net priceβ€” the average after grant aid. But that aid is largely US federal aid, and as an international student you generally can't get it. This matcher prices every college at what you'd actually face, and shows how many international students are already there.

Why the numbers change

What US students see

Net price β€” tuition, fees, room and board minus grant and scholarship aid, which for most families is dominated by federal aid.

What you'll see here

Published tuition and fees: the out-of-state rate at public colleges, the single published rate at private ones. Median across these colleges is $31,688/yr.

Who's already there

346,984 international undergraduates across these colleges. A campus with an established community is a very different experience from one with a handful.

Tuition and fees only β€” living costs, insurance and travel are on top, and vary hugely by city. Some private colleges do offer institutional aid to international students; that isn't published as open data, so check with each one.
