Estimate & listing disclaimer

Clear Cost Education helps families estimate what a private school is likely to cost after state scholarship programs, school-funded aid, and discounts. Please read the following before relying on any number you see on this site.

Estimates are not an offer of admission or an aid award

Every figure on this site is an estimate. It is not an offer of admission, not a binding financial aid award, and not a guarantee that a school or state program will approve your family. Only a school can tell you what you will actually pay.

These estimates do not replace a conversation with a school’s admissions or financial aid office. Use them to start that conversation, not to end it.

Listings do not include every school

Schools shown with tuition, aid estimates, photos, and profiles are partner schools that chose to be listed. Some listings are paid placements and are labeled as such. Listings are not a ranking, endorsement, or quality score, and they are not a complete list of every school near you. Where we can, we also show nearby non-partner schools by name and city only.

Data is dated and can change

Tuition, fees, and program figures carry a “data as of” year and can change at any time. State scholarship rules, award amounts, and income guidelines also change from year to year. Always confirm current-year numbers directly with the school.

Programs with separate applications

Some scholarships and aid programs require a separate application, evaluation, or determination that Clear Cost Education cannot make on your behalf. Where that applies, we flag it and point you to the school.
