Ducerus

"I went to a free financial aid workshop with Ed and I learned so much about applying for college for my daughter who is a senior in high school. Ed also discussed things to look for when applying for financial aid. He was so patient and was available to answer questions. I took advantage of the free personal session and was able to ask lots of questions. I can't thank Ed enough for the help he provided at no cost. Thanks Ed!!"

"I have been a Ducerus client for the last 6-7 years. My first daughter graduates from MIT in a few weeks. My second daughter has just begun her journey at the University of Utah. The guidance from Ducerus has been invaluable from many perspectives. Early on, and to this day, Ducerus (Ed) met with my family to help my daughters make informed decisions and guide me through the financial quagmire that is paying for a college education. The savings and guidance received has many times over paid for the cost of services. Hiring Ducerus has been one of the best financial decisions I've ever made. Thanks to them, college for my family has been reasonably affordable. Ducerus is an expert in navigating the financial aid system and maximizing your position to receive all the aid you are eligible for. Nothing shady or back room, it's just about knowing the system and how ones particular circumstance fits into that system. If I had tried this journey on my own, there is no doubt in my mind it would have been tremendously more stressful and expensive. Having Ducerus in my corner allowed me to just pass the buck to them and sit back and enjoy the fact both my daughters are going to be successful in college and I have a plan to meet all the financial obligations. Thank you Ducerus, especially Ed and Kate!"

"Ducerus has been a huge help in guiding us to get my daughter through the college application process. We are beyond thrilled with the help and guidance that we have gotten from Ed. My daughter got accepted to 10 schools. Not only did Ducerus help us with a timeline of the application process they took so much stress away from our family. They made the process enjoyable and made it clear as to what the next steps always were. They were a great help in the FAFSA process as well as helping us to look at the financial aid and scholarships that my daughter was awarded. We could not have done this without the help from Ed. I highly recommend Ducerus to any family getting ready for the college application process. Thank you SO much To Ed and the Ducerus staff for truly caring for my daughter and her college career."

"I would urge every parent who has a student in high school to contact ducerus. Sit down with Ed Sanderson, if you live in Carlsbad, CA. and let him explain to you why ducerus could be an asset in helping you with your college planning for your family. My eldest son graduated from UCSD in 2016, and my youngest son, will be going into his Junior year at USC In August of 2019. Ducerus, you are loved and respected by our family. Thank you Ed and Kate, for being there for us through the years."

"When I started the process of applying to a four-year University I was intimidated by the tasks ahead of me. I skeptically contacted Ducerus and presented my concerns. I was quickly calmed by Ed Sanderson who was able to answer my questions and create a plan of attack. I no longer felt alone in this confusing process and we began dissecting applications within the week. With little income I knew financial aid was going to be critical for my attendance and Ed knew exactly what forms I needed to complete. Ed was very thorough and we examined all applications and forms extensively. A full time student and part-time employee my schedule is very busy; attempting to decipher deadlines and requirements was very cumbersome on my own because I did not want to overlook any important details which could jeopardize my chance at college. With Ducerus on my side I had a safety net which did all the investigative work for me and informed exactly what I needed to do to reach my goals. I have now received admission to The Ohio State University and USC as well as receiving large federal grants allowing me to continue my dreams. I am thankful for Ducerus and the peace of mind it gave me through this stressful time."
