Output
Returns a structured financial aid estimate including expected aid package amount by income bracket, net cost after aid, Pell Grant eligibility status, and an institutional generosity rating — all sourced from College Scorecard data.
Example use cases
Compare net costs across college options
“I'm deciding between three schools and want to understand the real cost. Can you pull up the financial aid estimates for each of them assuming my family makes about $75,000 a year? I need to see the net cost after aid and how much aid I'd actually receive at each place.”
Assess Pell Grant eligibility by institution
“My family income is around $35,000. I want to know which of these colleges would qualify me for a Pell Grant and what the expected aid package would look like at each one. Also, do any of them stand out as particularly generous to students in my income bracket?”
Understand affordability for middle-income families
“We make about $90,000 a year and I'm worried about whether we'll actually be able to afford college. Can you show me the net price and aid package estimates for a few schools I'm interested in so I can see what we'd really be paying out of pocket?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://scholarpulse-bice.vercel.app/api/aidWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a quick, data-backed financial aid estimate for a specific U.S. college broken down by income bracket, particularly when assessing Pell eligibility and institutional generosity. Prefer this over FAFSA strategy tools when the goal is school-specific net cost comparison rather than SAI calculation.
Side effects

- Invalid or unrecognized income bracket — returns validation error
- College Scorecard data unavailable or stale — returns partial or cached result
- Missing required parameters such as college name or income — returns 400-level error
- Rate limit or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 error
