College calculator

Hillary Clinton had debt-free college and student loan forgiveness policies that sweated all the details. We created the college calculator to give voters a more personal understanding of the real, tangible money they would save if Hillary were able to implement her policies.

The calculator provided two scenarios—one for those planning for college, and one for those already deep in student debt—and allowed users to directly manipulate all of the data to fit their own financial situation (or explore variants), including whether they had served in Americorps or were veterans or student-parents, among other special situations.
