Ongoing College Planning Guidance — One Step At A Time
College planning can feel overwhelming.
Between college costs, financial aid, scholarships, FAFSA, student loans, college lists, award letters, and emotional family dynamics… many parents feel like they are constantly trying to “figure it all out.”
That’s exactly why I created the Sunday Strategy Sessions™.
These monthly live educational sessions are designed to help families better understand the college planning and financial aid process throughout high school — in a supportive, approachable, and less overwhelming way.
Whether your child is just beginning high school or preparing to submit financial aid applications, these sessions are designed to help families stay informed and prepared along the way.
Thank you Vicki at College Financial Prep! You made the financial piece of the college process easy to understand and simple to submit and save money! The service you provide is invaluable! M.S., NY

As a divorced mom myself, I understand how emotional and stressful college planning can sometimes feel.

Navigating the financial side of college can be overwhelming, but Vicki made the process clear, manageable, and even empowering. She brings a wealth of knowledge, practical tools, and genuine care to every conversation.
