    BOSTON, MA, December 04, 2009 /University PR News/ -- CampusCompare, the popular college search engine, today announced the launch of the "Pay for College" page on its popular website. The "Pay for College" page will act as a portal to search for thousands of scholarships and college loans. It will also provide additional resources, like financial aid advice, a financial aid calculator, FAQs, and a financial aid glossary. The new addition to the website helps students navigate the financial aid terrain to pay for college.

"The Pay for College page pulls together a wealth of resources that help students and their families prepare for the financial commitment of a college education which is a critical step in choosing a college that is best for the career goals of the student and the family financial situation," says Christina Thomas, VP Marketing of StudentAid.com. "Working with CampusCompare allows us to reach a greater number of students and families with this critical information."

In the past year, tuition was raised by over twice that of the rate of inflation. Almost 65% of students receive some form of financial aid, whether it is in the form of grants, scholarships, or loans. However, finding the financial aid solution that works is tricky. Colleges are cutting their financial aid packages as their own investments dry up, and students are more and more seeking outside sources of funding, whether it is from the government or from private beneficiaries.

The "Pay for College" page helps students find the one, two, or ten scholarships and loans that are a match for them. By combining multiple sources students are better able to reach their financial aid goal. The "Pay for College Page" not only helps them find financial aid, it provides them with financial aid resources, like expert articles and a financial aid calculator. Whether their scholarships and loans are worth $10,000 or just $10, as the money adds up, each student gets closer and closer to the goal of a college education.

Since its launch in 2008, CampusCompare's free college search engine has helped millions of students find their best-fit college from amongst 4000 2-year and 4-year colleges and universities. Now, CampusCompare will help students search thousands of college scholarships and loans to find the right financial aid mix to help them pay for college.
