A better decision flow
Do the math before the marketplace.
Marketplaces can return participating-lender offers, while publisher lists can summarize products. College Loan Finder adds the missing decision layer: school cost, funding gap, full loan cost, and borrower protections in one path.
Calculate the true gap
Subtract grants, scholarships, family resources, affordable work, and available federal loans before considering private credit.
Model the gap →Compare the whole contract
Filter public lender terms, compare up to three profiles, then test actual offers using the same assumptions.
Open lender research →Protection-first research
No universal “best lender.”
A lender can fit one borrower and not another. We expose what is known, what is conditional, what is not publicly disclosed, and when each field was checked.
Cosigner, citizenship, school, and program
Use public criteria to narrow the research field. Final eligibility remains with the provider.
APR, term, fees, and capitalization
Model the same amount and timeline so a lower payment cannot hide a longer, more expensive obligation.
Release, hardship, deferment, and servicing
Compare the provisions that matter when graduation, employment, or family finances do not go as planned.
Four calculators
Every tool gives value before asking for anything.
Calculations stay in the browser. Print the result or continue researching without creating an account.
Funding gap
Connect a school, subtract nonprivate resources, and expose the annual and cumulative gap.
Calculate →Full loan cost
Include in-school interest, capitalization, payments, term, and a higher-rate stress test.
Model cost →Four-year borrowing
See why first-year debt compounds longer than senior-year debt.
Project four years →Offer comparison
Enter up to three actual offers and normalize payment and total repayment.
Compare offers →CampusWorth advantage
Finance only after asking whether the college is worth its likely cost.
Reported outcomes are not promises, but they make the debt decision more complete. CampusWorth provides the school lens; College Loan Finder supplies the financing lens.
