Computing Need and Aid for College Costs in 1976
The CSS and ACT provide need analysis to estimate a family's ability to pay for college. Ballpark figures show contributions for one and three child families at various incomes, with calculations based on a two-parent, one-working-parent model. An example uses Mary, whose family's assets and income yield a calculated need of 1,265 for a 2210 cost, subject to college adjustment and financial aid packaging.
