Hi Cole and Vanessa,
Just wanted to tell you that Jake has decided on Seattle University, and Luke (as Cole already knows) has decided on Occidental College. It feels great to be at this place where the decisions have finally been made! The help you both have given our family has been invaluable, and we are so grateful to you! Thank you for getting to know our family and our circumstances, taking the time to get to know the boys, and steering us toward these colleges that are such perfect fits for each boy.
The financial aid awards at each school are excellent, and pretty comparable, leaving Luke and Jake each with only about $10,000 to come up with each year. We are amazed!!! This never would have happened without Ketterman College Funding. Thank goodness that flyer showed up in our mailbox, inviting us to Cole's webinar.
Cole, you told us this was possible, and it was hard to believe, but we trusted you, and learned so much along the way. We would have never suggested to the boys that they apply to such expensive schools without learning what you taught us. Thank you for spending so many countless hours with us on Zoom, patiently explaining the strategy and reasoning behind it. You are so good at what you do!! Your expert guidance has been rooted in integrity, kindness, humor, and knowledge.
Vanessa, your help with the high school schedule, essay writing, and staying on track with tasks has been very helpful. Having you check in with us was so reassuring when my overwhelmed brain would start freaking out that we might be missing something important. Thank you for your reminders to the boys to enjoy their downtime, rest, and relax as well as work hard and keep chipping away at their many tasks over these couple of years. Your kindness and patience has been very appreciated.
We feel like we won the lottery! That $6000 was the best money we've ever spent, and now the returns on it are literally going to equal about $600,000 over four years. Amazing!
With deep gratitude,
Jen W.
This makes me so happy. Great job Cole and Vanessa. Thank you. Kim Ketterman
