College Financial GPS
ChatGPT pluginExplore college costs and debt
College Financial GPS by College Azimuth helps students, parents and counselors explore U.S. undergraduate college costs and borrowing.
Check student debt, Parent PLUS and family funding scenarios; review award-letter line items; compare two to four schools on the same assumptions; and look up dated federal loan rules. Results use College Azimuth data and the same Financial GPS rules package as its website.
Figures are educational estimates. Earnings are historical medians, allowances are national, and private-loan rates are assumptions. The 10-year payment is a comparison yardstick. Parent checks also show the billed standard-plan payment and term. The plugin does not select schools or lenders, submit applications, recommend repayment plans, calculate RAP payments, or cover graduate programs.
No College Azimuth account is required. The server receives only each tool’s inputs and does not store them. Operational logs are retained for 30 days. Share only relevant amounts and generic award-letter labels; omit personal identifiers.
Prefer to enter the numbers yourself? Use the Financial GPS calculator at https://collegeazimuth.com/financial-gps/. It uses the same calculation rules as this plugin to explore student, parent and family affordability scenarios.

Skills
financial-gps
This skill should be used when a student or parent asks whether they can afford a college, what they would owe or pay each month after graduating, whether a school or major is worth the debt, how Parent PLUS works now, what an award letter really costs, how two to four schools compare on cost and earnings, or how federal student loans and repayment plans work after July 1, 2026. It also applies when a question mentions RAP, IBR, SAVE, PAYE, ICR, PSLF, loan forgiveness, loan limits, Parent PLUS caps or the "standard 10-year plan", because those questions usually rest on rules that changed in July 2026. It also applies when someone asks whether a graduate or professional degree (law, medicine, an MBA) is worth the debt: the tools cover undergraduate programs only, and Grad PLUS has ended for new borrowers.
