  • Dr. Scott helped fill-in the gaps and provided me with a wealth of information regarding the various financial aid processes that will be needed to attend college. With her guidance and assistance, my daughter was able to open up and speak rather candidly about her concerns attending college. Oftentimes, children don't open up to their parents however, she made her feel comfortable and relaxed enough to do so, I grateful for that. She followed up with open ended questions and then gave my daughter realistic goals for her to be successful and stay on track. At this point, I am confident my daughter will be able to make informed decisions regarding her college future.
