Visit the website: 100 Best College Values for 2009
Parent/Guardian Information

Grade Level High (9-12)

From site:  In tough economic times, students and families need more than ever to make every education dollar count. 

A new partnership between The Princeton Review and USA Today aims to help.  The Princeton Review, the education services and test prep company, in its list of 100 "Best Value" colleges for 2009, shines a light on schools that provide high-quality academics at a reasonable price -- either by keeping sticker values in line, or by offsetting high costs with great financial aid packages.

The annual list used to be published in book form; now, data highlights and exclusive analysis from The Princeton Review are being published in this free interactive database, at BestValueColleges.usatoday.com.

Grade Level High (9-12)
From site: 

Cappex.com is a FREE service that helps students connect with colleges and universities that want them before they apply.

Students who complete a profile on Cappex.com may be invited to apply to certain colleges based on the college's interest in their specific qualifications, and may also hear about other schools meeting their needs. Because all messages are received via our private messages center, personal contact information about the student will only be released to an institution after the student indicates they'd like to hear more from that institution. In essence, the student will know which colleges want them before they apply.

This service will also be free to accredited public and private colleges seeking undergraduate US-based students, thereby enlarging the base of potential college participants.
