HAPPY CLIENTS / 5 STAR REVIEWS

College Financial Prep greatly appreciates all of the "5 Star Reviews" ​from our diverse clientele!


We are very happy with our decision to work with Vicki. Vicki was extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful throughout the process. She is very genuine in her approach and a pleasure to work with, and we had great results.

Vicki helped us through the whole financial process of filing our FAFSA and CSS Profile papers. We had quite a few zoom calls and email correspondence regarding specific colleges. Vicki also helped us write letters of appeal to certain schools. Having someone guide us through this difficult process was very helpful.

I just finished multiple applications for FAFSA and CSS profiles for two children in college. It was my first time applying and I was completely overwhelmed with questions and details the schools required. Vicki was amazing to work with. She was professional, knowledgeable and available every time I called. Vicki took the time to hear my story and understand what needed to be done. She patiently explained what my options were and the best approach to hopefully get me the most aid. We were also under a time constraint and she made it happen! She made the process as painless as it could be. I highly recommend her for helping you get aid and helping you plan ahead! I will certainly use Vicki for all future financial aid!!

Vicki was AMAZING in the stressing process of doing the FAFSA & CSS Step by step was on top of everything and would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat.

I am a financial advisor, and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst. I have always planned and saved for my kids education but when it came to doing all the financial applications like FAFSA, I did not know where to start from. I met Vicki Vollweiler from College Financial Prep, and she was a lifesaver. Saved me over 13k for my son who is at Penn State. I now have my daughter applying to colleges this year and Vicki is my go to. I highly recommend her. Anyone I know that is going through the process, I send them to College Financial Prep.

Pleasure to work with Vicki.  She took the stress out of the process. Very professional!

A.O. Bethpage, NY
My son got into college, but now we need to figure out how to pay for it. I highly recommend talking to Vicki Vollweiler and her company College Financial Prep. She was so helpful wrapping our heads around how to pay, and is working with us to try to get as much merit as we can. DON'T START SENIOR YEAR! she can help you as early as middle school. I rarely recommend on FB but I tell you this one is worth the share. College ain't cheap!

Vicki, THANK YOU ~ that was exactly what I had hoped for.  "Amy" is the most reluctant of the family members regarding financial planning and you were a great help today.  Great job!  Also, I recommended you to the Morgan family – our boys play baseball together.  Their graduating senior has acceptance letters from (4) schools in TN and KY.  I think you can help them tremendously and I will encourage them to reach out ASAP.

Hi Vicki- I’ve copied my coworker Jodi on this email. Jodi is divorced and has 2 high school aged sons. After hearing my rave reviews about you and how helpful you’ve been guiding me/us thru college financing, Fafsa forms, appealing financial aid awards, etc.  she requested your contact info.  Hope you two can “meet” soon.    Thank you!

Helping your child apply to colleges is no joke.  The whole process is overwhelming, confusing and exhausting, especially the financial aspect!  Thank you College Financial Prep for being one of my hero's throughout this process!

To all of my friends who have Junior and Seniors in high school, I highly recommend College Financial Prep. Vicki is very knowledgeable navigating the college financial process and helped us save money!

Financing college can be one of the largest expenses for a young person (or their family). If you have a high schooler or college age person in your life consider checking out Vicki Vollweiler at CollegeFinancialPrep.com. I've had a consultation with her on behalf of a client and she already made college 10s of thousands of dollars cheaper for that family because of some smart early planning. Her fees are very reasonable, and she simplifies the complex issue of paying for college. She can even help you identify which colleges might offer the best packages based on your grades, activities and financial situation. This type of expert advice is hard to come by and worth many multiples of the hourly cost. Her special expertise is with divorced families and other situations with special circumstances.

Vicki Vollweiler is extremely knowledgeable regarding the entire financial aid process. She was extremely helpful with completing the FAFSA (Do's and Dont's). She was also very helpful with reviewing financial aid offers and writing appeal letters to obtain additional aid. Her knowledge and patience made an extremely daunting task seem much simpler. Thank you Vicki!

​S.R., Plainview, NY
College Financial Prep reviewed my son's financial aid offers, created a solid case and wrote his appeal letter.  It was FABULOUS!!!  Sending it out today!!!  Thanks Vicki!

Vicki was more than patient with me being a first time mom of a senior ready to apply to college. I honestly couldn’t have done it without her. She is always quick to answer any questions I have and completely eases my mind that everything is being done efficiently. I HIGHLY recommend Vicki for your children’s college needs. I cannot thank her enough!

​M.B., Northport, New York
Thank you Vicki at College Financial Prep!  You made the financial piece of the college process easy to understand and simple to submit and complete!  The service you provide is invaluable!  I will definitely be working with you again this school year for both of my children!!!

​M.S., Melville, New York
Thank you for helping me and my husband through the Financial Aid process!  You held our hand with gathering all of the information and filled out the forms when we needed you too.  Our son is thrilled with his merit scholarship!!!  And I really appreciate all of your help during crazy hours of the day.  In October, we'll be back for help with both of our sons financial aid forms!!!

​​F.B., Farmingdale, New York
In the course of working with Vicki, I have been very impressed with her understanding of financial aid and other financial matters; she is a great problem-solver, and has been very helpful to both her married and divorced clients. On a personal level, I know Vicki to be totally honest and trustworthy. She is a wonderful professional colleague, and she also serves her clients in a totally professional and conscientious manner.
