Testimonials
“I am so grateful for the help of Tim McFillin of the College Funding Coach! As the parent of twin daughters, both of whom are attending out-of-state schools, I was unpleasantly surprised by the expensive reality of paying college bills and costs for both of my kids at the same time. Though I paid for my daughters’ college bills without any loans for their freshman year, I felt as though my personal budget was uncomfortably tight and I questioned whether I could handle three more years of costs while still having enough money left for my own needs. In order to find a solution to my financial constraints, I contacted Tim for ideas. Tim’s suggestions were pure gold! He gave me a few leads on obtaining student loans, one of which was a Sallie Mae loan that offers a discount to College Funding Coach clients. I ended up getting Sallie Mae loans for both of my girls at amazing fixed rates and with terms that both my daughters and I are comfortable with. Now I have some breathing room with my own budget and can rest easy, knowing that my girls’ loan burden is manageable and that their low-interest rates will be certain through the lifetime of the loan. Tim’s assistance made a huge difference to my peace of mind and I am now better on track with my own personal financial goals while also making sure that my girls’ college bills can be easily paid. I recommend the College Funding Coach, and Tim McFillin, to anyone looking for solutions to paying for college.” – Gina, D., Rockville, MD
“Meeting with Tim was one of the best decisions I made in preparing a plan to fund my son’s college. I went into the conversation thinking that I hadn’t done enough and left with a bounce in my step and feeling good about our funding plan. I also learned a lot about the college application and selection process, available loans, etc. He also provided ideas on schools we hadn’t previously considered. I’m so glad that I made the decision to meet with Tim. Definitely worth the time, and I’m more knowledgeable as a result.” -Nancy R.
