What We Do
A Powerful College Savings Tool
HelloWallet has one of the most powerful college savings tools available. By simply knowing the name of the four-year institution, two-year institution, or trade school that you’re saving for, we’ll be able to generate a year-by-year estimate of how much it will cost to go in the years you plan on attending. For each year, we’ll provide the cost of attendance in total and broken down by tuition and fees, housing and food, and books and other living costs. We’ll also provide an analysis of how much a family with a financial profile similar to yours receives in grants and loans, so you’ll get a very realistic estimate of what’s left to pay out-of-pocket.
Find College Prices
We provide HelloWallet members with the estimated costs of nearly every post-secondary school in the country, including four-year private colleges and universities, community and junior colleges, and trade schools. We’ll estimate how much the school you’re saving for will cost in the years that you, or the person you’re saving for, will attend.
Loans, Financial Aid, College Savings
As a HelloWallet member, you’ll be provided with a detailed assessment of how much you should expect to receive in student loans and financial aid. We’ll look at your household income and the school you have in mind, and then tell you what the average person that fits your profile tends to pay out-of-pocket to attend the school that you’ve selected.
Personalized Monthly Goals
If you’re saving for school, you’ll get a monthly estimate of how much you need to save to reach your goal. We’ll do all of the fancy math for you, so you won’t need to worry about figuring out how to reach your goal. And we break your goals into manageable pieces, so you can get there one step at a time.
Track Your Savings Progress
We’ll help you figure out how much to save every month to reach your education savings goal and track your progress. We’ll also send you progress updates that help you stay on track to reach your goal.
Use the Best Products to Save for College
We’ll make sure you use the best products to save for school by customizing our recommendations to your specific needs. If you’re using a savings account, for example, we might suggest that you instead use a 529 or Coverdell, because these products could help you save you a lot more. We take a lot of the guesswork out of saving for school.
