TuitionFit
TuitionFit is an online platform that allows the public to create a transparent data set of college's real prices, not the high sticker prices that very few students actually pay. Students and families share their award letters, TuitionFit removes the private information and aggregates the pricing information into a catalog for users to see the real range of college prices. TuitionFit creates a Kelley Blue Book for college price; it allows the public to see all the prices that colleges are offering different kinds of students, and lets the public compare and make better choices about what's the best value for them, and gives them some power to get the college to give them a better price. Because the public now knows what else is out there.
