ABOUT VICKI VOLLWEILER, FOUNDER OF COLLEGE FINANCIAL PREP:
Vicki Vollweiler, founder of College Financial Prep, has built her practice focused on College Planning and College Affordability. Vicki holds her Master’s Degree in Business Administration and has focused the bulk of her career on analysis, pricing, return on investment and negotiations. Vicki received her MBA degree from Syracuse University where she had been awarded a Full Merit Scholarship plus financial stipends. |
Prior to College Financial Prep, Vicki had been serving clients as a Certified Divorce Coach who helped parents achieve personal financial goals. As clients started to ask how they were going to afford the cost of college for their children she knew, as a divorced mom herself, that the goal (and challenge) is to provide the best education for children possible while minimizing costs and reducing the need for student loan debt. To date, some clients have successfully saved hundreds of thousands of dollars each with College Financial Prep's guidance.
Vicki is a proud member of Females & Finance, The National Association of Divorce Professionals and NYSFAAA.
