<p>"The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is in its infancy, but already it's taking steps to create tools that can help people in a very real way. It rolled out a beta version of a cost comparison shopping tool, aimed at guiding students and their families through the process of researching financial aid options.</p>
<p>On its site, the CFPB notes how tough it can be to navigate schools, grants, loans and all the various financial dealings involved in going to college. Their new prototype Financial Aid Comparison Shopper is one way they're trying to help with all of that information.</p>
<p>The tool isn't in its final form yet, and the CFPB is urging consumers to test it out for themselves and provide feedback that could impact its functionality before the full launch.</p>
<p>Try it out and let them know if it was useful, informative, easy or hard to navigate, or any other comments and criticism."</p>
