Each College Raptor NPC is customized to your institution’s individual pricing and awarding methodology and can include federal, state and institutional aid. This ensures that every family completing your calculator receives an accurate net price without causing additional strain to your offices. And, even though it’s customized, set up is simple. The Financial Aid and Admission offices simply provide us the awarding parameters and we take care of the rest – no complicated forms or portals to complete.

College Raptor’s NPCs are seamlessly integrated into your current website by our team. We do the heavy lifting so there is little work required by your IT staff. Additionally, our NPC’s are completely mobile-friendly, appealing to students and parents who are on their devices constantly.

​Our streamlined approach is easier and quicker for families to fill out, which leads to our significantly higher than average completion rates. We include multiple options to estimate the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) so there is no longer a need to complete fifty questions to get a net price estimate. Our dynamic survey tailors itself to adjust questions according to how much information the student actually knows while still ensuring an accurate net price cost.

As an added bonus, students have the option to identify themselves to you during the process. These students will be provided to you as a qualified lead free of charge. This gives you direct access to those “stealth” students who are actively interested in learning about the affordability of your institution.

Currently, our Net Price Calculators are the only solution on the market that can provide all of these features in one single service.

Website Integration for a cohesive design: Each Net Price Calculator is built so that it fits seamlessly inside your institution’s current webpage. This not only keeps prospective students and families on your site with access to your links and navigation, but it also retains your branding and makes the job of implementation easy.

Custom widgets provide better information: Our calculators come standard with a series of widgets to help families visualize their estimated aid packages in different ways. Simply let us know which ones you would like to include and we do the rest.

Pie Chart Widgets help families see the distribution of aid.	Comparison Shopping Widgets allow families to see your costs compared to other selected institutions.
Other widgets include Average Debt Burden and Median Borrowing statistics.

More financial options lead to more completed calculators: By giving students and families up to four different options to share their financial information, our calculators do not require pages and pages of financial questions. This allows students to get an accurate estimate more easily with the information they have, resulting in more submitted calculators.

Net Price estimates from any device: The responsive design of our NPCs gives your prospective student easy access to your calculator from their smartphone or tablet without the need to pinch and stretch.

Integrated lead generation functionality for free: Students who complete your Net Price Calculator are strong leads for your recruitment team. Those who complete the optional contact information form will be delivered to you free of charge.
