Testimonials:
"Tina is a top notch coach! She has helped my daughter and I this entire year through the overwhelming financial aid process and helped my daughter access thousands of dollars in scholarships that she would not have received without Tina's help! I do not know what we would have done without all Tina's knowledge. I highly recommend her for all of your and your students college financial aid guidance needs!"
— Tina Lewis, CA.
"I don't know what we would have done without Tina's help! We asked her so many questions and always received prompt answers. She taught us things we had no clue about, like how to find colleges that offer better financial aid offers and how to appeal financial aid. Our daughter received an extra $5000 a year for all four years as the result of the appeal letter we wrote with Tina's help and that was on top of her other financial aid! She regularly provided scholarship resources to save us the time searching for them and our daughter even won a couple of them! We can not recommend her coaching program enough. 10 months of ongoing help and invaluable information from an expert that cost just $699 is a no brainer!

"I just want to thank you for all your expert advice on financial aid appeals! I’ve been taking your online class (Financial Aid Academy) since August 2020 and I’m so glad I did. My friend referred me to you and it paid off! I wrote two appeal letters for my son (only to the schools that were the most expensive). The first one was unable to offer any more than what they had initially offered. But the second one, (which is the school he accepted admittance to and wanted to attend), just got back to us yesterday and offered $8,000 more!! We are thrilled. We feel like this is only the beginning, because we haven’t even heard back on any scholarships that he applied for yet. I could NOT have done this on my own. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
