EDFIN is truly fantastic! I felt a little lost and overwhelmed when we started the college admissions process for our daughter a few years back and our son last year.
Shelly is so very knowledgeable about every grant, aid and program available for students and she makes sure that every opportunity is taken and ensure the paperwork is filled out correctly and in the best way to have a positive impact on grants and aids.
