Know what your financial-aid offer actually means.
A letter can say “$45,400 in financial aid” when most of it is loans you repay or wages you have to earn. FinePrint reads your offer, shows what each dollar really is, and points to the exact words it came from.

A made-up letter — no real student’s data.
What FinePrint separates out
Gift aid
Grants and scholarships. The money you don't pay back.
Loans
Borrowed money, repaid with interest. Often counted as “aid” anyway.
Work-study
A job you'd be paid for during the year — not a discount on your bill.
What the letter doesn't say
Missing costs and amounts with no stated timing. FinePrint asks instead of guessing.
- Every figure links to the line of the letter it came from.
- If a number can’t be found in the letter’s text, it isn’t counted.
- FinePrint doesn’t save your letter. It’s read by an AI model to find the numbers, then your analysis lives only in this browser tab.
