Testimonials

Thanks Kristin!— Shannon, January 2025
It was wonderful having Liam accepted to several schools before the holidays, giving us a chance to breathe a bit. The merit scholarships were a great, wonderful surprise. I am really excited for him. Thank you for all of your efforts. You made this process so transparent and seamless for us! I am happy to give you a referral to anyone I know!
Professional and Accommodating— Michael, February 2025
I have used Todd Weaver from Strategies For College for the past 6 years and he has been a tremendous help with both my children with regard to college planning. He is always accommodating and professional. I recommend him to many friends and acquaintances.
Creative Problem Solving: Financial Aid— Jennifer B., June 2026
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the financial aid process, Todd Weaver is the person you want in your corner. Our family was facing a complicated financial aid situation, and without his knowledge, guidance, and persistence, I truly don't believe we would have achieved the outcome we did. Todd is exceptionally knowledgeable about both federal and institutional financial aid policies, but what really sets him apart is his ability to think outside the box. Rather than offering generic advice, he took the time to understand our unique circumstances and developed a strategy tailored specifically to our family's situation. He identified opportunities and approaches that we never would have considered on our own.
Super Stoked!— Aidan, April 2026
Thank you! Super stoked about how it went. I gained a lot of confidence and appreciate all you did for me over the summer last year and through senior year. I don't think I would have been as successful without your help so thank you again!
