Welcome to Degree Sources ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using degreesources.com (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

About This Site

Degree Sources provides educational content, interactive calculators, and tools designed to help prospective and current students understand financial aid, scholarships, and degree program options. Our content is informational and does not constitute professional financial, legal, or academic advice.

Use of Tools and Calculators

Our interactive tools (including the EFC/SAI Calculator, Scholarship Finder, Financial Aid Quiz, Degree ROI Calculator, and others) provide estimates only. Results are based on simplified models using publicly available data and the information you provide.

• Calculator results are not official financial aid determinations
• Your actual financial aid package will be determined by your school's financial aid office based on your FAFSA submission
• Scholarship amounts and eligibility shown are approximate and subject to change by the awarding organizations
• Salary projections and ROI estimates are based on aggregate data and may not reflect individual outcomes

Tool inputs are processed in your browser. If you choose to submit your email for a results report, that information is transmitted to our email service provider as described in our Privacy Policy.

Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate, current information. However:

• Financial aid rules, scholarship amounts, and program details change frequently
• We rely on publicly available data sources (IPEDS, BLS, VA, Department of Education) which may lag current conditions
• We cannot guarantee the completeness or timeliness of any information on this Site

Always verify information directly with the relevant institution, government agency, or financial aid office before making decisions.
