Net Price Calculator

See what Allen could really cost your family.

Your actual cost may be less than the sticker price. Our Net Price Calculator gives you a personalized estimate of your cost after grants and scholarships.

How It Works

Three steps to your estimate.

Federal law requires every college to offer a net price calculator so families can compare real costs before applying.

  1. Gather your information

    Have your family’s income, household size, and recent tax information handy for the most accurate estimate.

  2. Answer a few questions

    The calculator asks about your household and finances.

  3. Get your estimate

    See your estimated cost of attendance, possible grant aid, and net price for one year at Allen.

Understanding Your Costs

Direct costs, indirect costs, and what you’ll pay.

Your total Cost of Attendance (COA) combines direct and indirect costs. Subtract the financial aid you’re offered, and you have an approximate figure of what your family can expect to contribute.
