"Bucknell University is joining more than 360 institutions in the College Cost Transparency Initiative (CCT), a coalition of higher education voluntarily committed to following a set of principles and standards to ensure transparency, clarity and understanding around student financial aid offers," The Daily Item reports.

..."Moving forward, the College Cost Transparency Initiative will be managed by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA). This work is sponsored by a grant from the Strada Education Foundation.

'We are committed to making sure that students and families get the information they need to make informed decisions about paying for college,' said Justin Draeger, president and CEO of NASFAA. 'If this project has shown us anything, it’s that this work is complex, but can be done when institutional leaders and practitioners come together to make college cost transparency a priority. We look forward to continuing to recruit more higher education institutions to the initiative.'"
