College Costs
Senior Class Package (Per High School)
College Costs helps seniors and families turn financial aid award letters (PDFs or phone photos) into a verified, apples-to-apples cost comparison across colleges, then generates a timestamped Decision PDF for parents and counselors.
Package + Price
Price: $3,000 per high school, per graduating class, per year
Best Buyer: Principal or Guidance Director with a senior budget
Term: 12 months (one senior cohort cycle)
If a typical senior class is ~150 to 250 students, then:
- 150 seniors: $3,000 / 150 = $20 per senior
- 200 seniors: $3,000 / 200 = $15 per senior
- 250 seniors: $3,000 / 250 = $12 per senior
