What if students chose their college not just based on dreams or limited data, but using transparent and personalized pricing that empowers smarter financial decisions? Mark Salisbury, founder of TuitionFit, believes they should—and he’s built a platform to make that possible. In a world where college decisions are often driven by emotion and result in overwhelming debt, Mark is actively working to shift the narrative.

With experience in both coaching and college admissions, Mark brings clarity to one of the most stressful choices families face: how to afford a quality education without sacrificing their financial futures.

“Let’s figure out a way to make college prices transparent and available to everybody, and then give people that information and let them use it, let them be empowered consumers,” Mark shares in this NGPF Speaker Series episode.

Centered on this vision, TuitionFit equips students and their families with the information they need to make confident, financially sound college decisions together.
