Degree Sources

Degree Sources is an education information and planning brand that helps people understand financial aid, college costs, and degree options before choosing a school. Its free aid check estimates federal Pell Grant eligibility, state grants, campus aid, Work-Study, and federal loan limits in about two minutes, showing the sources behind the figures. Users can see results without providing an email, and matching with schools is optional.

The brand offers calculators and guides for different stages of college planning. Tools include an SAI Calculator, an Independent Student Check, a Pell Years Left tool, an Aid Letter Decoder, an ROI Calculator, an Employer Tuition Checker, a GI Bill Calculator, a Loan Repayment Calculator, and a Time-to-Degree Calculator. Degree Sources also publishes information on financial aid, online degrees, student loans, job training, and school profiles.

Its tools draw on public information from Federal Student Aid, the IRS, state aid agencies, the VA, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and other government sources.
