My daughter was our oldest child, and this was our first college admissions process, that we were facing. Debbie did a great job from day 1, all the way to the end. From identifying colleges and possible majors, strategizing on what to do to get into certain colleges, assisting with essays, and assisting with the application process, she made it seamless! She really knows her stuff, and made a very daunting task, easier than we thought.

We were referred to Debbie to help my daughter in her college search and to guide her through the admission process. It has been 36 years since I went through this. I would say Debbie spent a ton of time getting to know my daughter on the front end. And, really helped her through the essay portion. We had already visited most of the schools we ended up applying to while we were out on the road after volleyball tournaments. Debbie is quite possibly the most patient person ever. I think scheduling my over the top busy daughter was stressful and challenging for me. But, if that is the worst of it. We are waiting for word from the colleges currently. Not sure we could have done it without Debbie in the limited time available with sports. Thank you for all of your advice and help! Now onto her brother!

Debbie and her team from Savvy College Funding Solutions will forever have a special place in my heart as she was an angel for me, helping me and Ella through the whole process of college applications. We chose Debbie because after interviewing six college advisors, she was the only one who wanted to get to know Ella and see if it was a good fit for her and my child. I saw that was an incredible character of her as a professional because it meant that she cared about the kids she works with! To Debbie, the kids she works with are not just a number. They become part of her life through one of the most critical and stressful processes these kids go through, applying to colleges. Being a single mom, going through the process for the first time, I was stressed out, but Debbie made everything seamless for me and Ella. She constantly met with Ella and provided a schedule of when things needed to be completed, so every step of the application process was stress free. She made Ella think outside the box for her essay, which led to the most incredible essay that showed who my daughter is. Debbie took on the role of friend, partner, and family throughout this whole process for my family as we experienced a personal family situation.

Through it all, Debbie was always there to answer questions, talk to us and ensure that Ella was at ease with everything happening personally. She is an amazing soul, caring, professional, and always there for her kids ( clients) and the parents. She helped us every step of the way, which is why I highly recommend her!!! Ella got into exceptional schools. Thanks to Debbie’s guidance and support. Thank you, Debbie!! We have one more to go!!! We will be starting this year with my son, and Thank goodness you are in our lives because I know that you will be there for us every step of the way!!!!!

A Five-Star Experience with Savvy College Funding - Beyond Grateful for Debbie Goldstein! From the very first meeting with Debbie Goldstein at Savvy College Funding, it was clear that we had embarked on a journey that would significantly alter our child's educational future for the better. Like many parents, we were aware of our child's potential and achievements in both academics and extracurricular activities, but the labyrinth of college applications, especially the financial aspect, seemed daunting. Debbie was a beacon of knowledge and guidance through this complex process.
What sets Debbie and Savvy College Funding apart is not just the comprehensive understanding of the college application process but the genuine care and personalized approach taken for each family. Debbie helped our child hone in on writing impactful essays that truly resonated with their desired colleges, highlighting their strengths and aspirations in a way we hadn't thought possible.
Moreover, the financial advice and direction provided were invaluable. College expenses have become a significant concern for families, regardless of their financial situation. Debbie's expertise opened our eyes to a plethora of programs and scholarships that were a perfect match for our son's interests and our financial needs. It's not an exaggeration to say that she has not only helped our son's dreams come closer to reality but also eased the financial burden on us, his parents.
We wholeheartedly give Savvy College Funding and Debbie Goldstein five stars for their exceptional service. Her assistance has been a game-changer for our family, and we couldn't be more thankful. We highly recommend Savvy College Funding to any parent who understands that cutting corners in the college application process can end up being more costly in the long run. With Debbie, you're investing in a future that is bright and filled with promise. Would we use her services again? Absolutely. Do we love Debbie? Without a doubt. Thank you, Debbie, for everything.

Debbie was incredibly helpful and helped me get into one of the top schools on my college list. As a student there's nothing scarier then hearing about how many moving parts there are in the college process. Debbie helped ease that stress by creating deadline schedules, setting realistic goals, and always being there to answer any questions I threw at her. Her experience is truly invaluable!

The process of filling out college applications is complicated, tedious and not fun. Debbie took all that off our plate. We didn’t need to figure out the steps or the order of anything because Debbie did all that for us. She met with my son continuously and in a timely manner, breaking down the steps needed to accomplish the process, and gave them to him as small assignments every week. That got him to where he had completed all his applications without the stress.
Debbie is also a very kind, unpretentious and warm person. So, it was easy for my son and myself to feel comfortable talking to her and asking all our possibly “dumb” questions, without feeling embarrassed.
Debbie is the BEST!
My son got into an amazing program at a great college which is a perfect fit for him. I truly believe that if it weren’t for Debbie, he may not have done everything it took to get there, just because its a LOT and can be overwhelming.

Debbie supported me throughout my entire college application process helping to reduce all my stress and anxiety. She was super responsive and understanding making sure to guide me through every step especially when my workload from school and sports was intense. Her help was much appreciated and I was able to get into several amazing universities including my dream school the University of Michigan go blue!

Debbie made my journey to college feel like it had momentum and purpose. I was working my way through community college, trying to not let my family and financial circumstances get in the way of my path to education. I was working hard, but I felt lost and discouraged. With the counseling from Debbie, she gave me hope that I could get into university, despite of the odds stacked against me. I was admitted to every University that I applied to, even to UC Santa Barbara, my dream school which I thought I had no chance of getting into. Debbie is extremely knowledgeable and persistent in her assistance of students ready to take their education to the next level, I would recommend her to every student looking to take their education seriously.
