Helping You Save Money on The Cost Of College—Even When Life Isn’t Always Simple
Hi, I’m Vicki Vollweiler—founder of College Financial Prep. I have my MBA from Syracuse University where I attended on a full scholarship. I'm also a Certified Divorce Coach and most importantly, a divorced parent who has been there, planning for college while looking to save money.
When I went through my own divorce, I worried constantly about how I’d manage everything—from the emotional toll to the rising cost of college. I knew I wanted the best for my child, but I didn’t want college to destroy my financial stability.
That’s why I started College Financial Prep.
I’ve spent over a decade helping parents—especially those who are divorced, separated, remarried, or widowed—make college affordable. Whether you’re navigating the FAFSA, applying for scholarships, figuring out how to work with (or around) your ex, or simply trying to understand what to do next, I offer a step-by-step plan tailored to your family’s needs.
