    MEFA (Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority) Updates

    As Grade 12 families anticipate sending a child to college this fall, we recommend two of our online tools designed to help them make a plan to pay for college costs:
    • Our College Cost Calculator allows families to compare colleges by recording the financial aid received from each school and viewing the resulting net price
    •  Our Student Loan Payment Calculator displays the monthly loan payment and total loan cost (based on the amount families plan to borrow) for each MEFA Loan repayment type
    Should families have questions as they explore these tools, encourage them to reach out to a MEFA college planning expert at (800) 449-MEFA (6332) or collegeplanning@mefa.org.
