Citizens Bank launches new College Cost Calculator
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Citizens Bank today announced the introduction of the Student Loan College Cost Calculator, a new tool that enables undergraduate and graduate students and their families to calculate and compare the annual cost of attendance at up to three colleges.
Students today are grappling with the rising cost of college. With the launch of the new College Cost Calculator, Citizens Bank aims to help students understand their financing options so the decisions on where to go and how to pay are simple and clear
Based on individual inputs – the cost of a school (including tuition, room and board, fees and personal expenses), scholarships and grants, and federal loans – the tool computes the annual cost of attendance for the student. It also allows families to develop a financing plan which includes a snapshot of estimated monthly post-graduation loan payments,
“Citizens Bank is committed to partnering with our customers during each and every important stage of their life. Going to college is an important milestone that enables all of us to pursue our career goals,” said Christine Roberts, Head of Student Lending at Citizens Bank. “We strive to provide our customers with educational resources and tools, like the new College Cost Calculator, to help them make smart financial decisions that help them reach their potential.”
The College Cost Calculator is the newest addition to the Citizens Bank Student Loan page, which provides helpful resources for students and their families online – tips and tools to assist students in saving and budgeting for college, applying for financial aid and establishing and maintaining good credit. Citizens Bank also recently introduced a personalized rate quote tool to provide rates and savings for those considering refinancing their student loan.
