Tuition and Financial Aid does not—and cannot—tell you what your tuition rates should be. Nor does it tell you that a particular tuition rate is too “high” or too “low.” The book also does not dictate how much you should earmark for financial aid. But the guide will help your school charge the appropriate tuition and establish positive financial aid policies to keep it on solid fiscal footing for years to come.
