DIVORCED PARENTS - ONLINE SHOP
"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 from College Financial Prep 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 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!!"
