Make informed decisions about college costs and maximize your financial opportunities

Are you concerned about college affordability? Two Bridges College Consulting helps you understand the real costs of college, identify schools offering the best financial opportunities, and compare financial aid awards with clarity and confidence.

Why is financial aid guidance important?

Understanding college costs goes far beyond looking at the sticker price. With varying forms of merit aid, need-based assistance, and non-standardized award letters, comparing true bottom-line costs can feel impossible. While we’re not financial planners, we provide crucial guidance on identifying financially realistic options and understanding actual costs at different institutions.

Our approach to financial aid guidance:

1. Merit Aid Analysis: We identify institutions where your academic profile makes you competitive for significant merit-based scholarships and grants.
2. Opportunity Identification: Using extensive data, we help you target schools known for generous aid packages matching your academic and financial profile.
3. Award Letter Translation: We standardize financial aid award letters from different schools, creating clear, side-by-side comparisons of actual costs.
4. Cost Comparison: We break down the true cost of attendance at each school, factoring in expenses beyond just tuition, meals, and housing.
