How do you know if a school is affordable, somewhat-affordable, or not affordable in DecidED?

After you upload your award letters, you will see an affordability rating from DecidED that says if the college is “Affordable,” “Somewhat Affordable,” or “Not Affordable.” Each rating is calculated using  award letter information and financial aid documents you send us. Our affordability ratings are based on the remaining amount you will need to pay for college after your financial aid is applied.
