Testimonials

POM was an amazing service that helped me in many ways. The prep courses that I was given access to helped raise my ACT score to a 28. This in turn granted me a $10,000 scholarship per year from the university I will be attending. They also were super hands on when it came to the federal aid process by helping with the FAFSA. On top of all of that, they also helped me to find scholarship opportunities outside of the university that were specific to my talents and interests. This service is amazing!

POM helped me in so many ways! They helped me explore different options when it came to choosing a school and how to pay for it. They also provided me with a personalized scholarship report which was so helpful because it’s so easy to get lost on the internet when searching for scholarships. They are also helping my parents manage the cost of mine and my sisters college, as we are first generation college students! Thank you so much POM!

POM College Consulting was very instrumental in my college application process. They assisted me and my family in filling out the FAFSA, aided me in writing appeal letters to my dream colleges, and went above and beyond and curated a list of scholarships directly customized to me. Thanks POM!
Brooke M, Georgia

I’m glad I was able to know POM. I’m a single mom and I dont know about how education work here with regards to finances. Met Todd and he is very helpful, very nice person, honest and very accomodating. Katie is friendly, easy to contact, very helpful, and will tell you up front what she knows and what I need to know. Wendy is also helping me for any questions and recommendations. Thank you all!

POM College Consulting has been super helpful for me throughout the whole college process. They’ve given me access to lots of tools to use for college visits, choosing a major, staying on top of deadlines, and finding scholarships that I otherwise wouldn’t have had access to. It’s made applying much easier and less stressful! I feel confident about my choices because of POM’s help and I’m super excited to be heading to college in the fall!
Kaitlyn P, Colorado

POM has helped me in my college and career search by offering me many tools that helped me shape my path, compiling information about scholarships for me and always checking in and being attentive to my needs. Because of POM, I was able to choose my major through their aptitude testing, stay on task and on time with applying for scholarships and get all of my required documentation and forms into the school I have decided to attend. Thank you POM!
Cammel L, Texas

As senior year can be super stressful with application deadlines and figuring out where I want to spend the next four years of my life, POM made everything super easy. We signed up for POM at the end of my junior year and since then they have taken care of me immensely. The people working at POM have filed my FASFA, kept me up to date on application deadlines, sent me scholarships that were personalized to fit my interests and needs, as well as gave me access to SAT and ACT practice not available to everyone! POM has been super helpful in assisting me and my mom and has made my senior year stress free when it comes to worrying about my future. The people at POM are always happy to work with you and help you be successful throughout high school and into the transition of my college years. My family is extremely grateful for the opportunity to use the POM services to help us make this last year of high school more enjoyable.

Senior year can be extremely scary and stressful. With deadline after deadline, I have found it hard to wrap my head around what I want to do and where I see myself in the next four years. That is where POM College Consulting stepped in. With POM, I now have a clear path set out for me and for my future, and I am bound to succeed wherever the world takes me.

POM has been extremely consistent in helping me transition from high school to college. They have kept in contact with me regularly through personal, one-on-one phone calls and emails to ensure that I am on the right path and that I have everything I need. Through POM College Consulting, I discovered not only where I wanted to spend the next four years of my life, but how best to succeed at that school. I have been provided with scholarships fit just for me, ways to organize the many scholarship applications, and even tips on how to apply. They delightfully filed my FAFSA, provided many other tools, and did everything else imaginable to help my college transition go smoothly. POM College Consulting has been extremely helpful with respect to how my family will pay for college, and I now feel prepared and confident going into my freshman year at Kennesaw State University! I am thankful for the opportunity given to me, and highly recommend their services to anyone worried about how to overcome any challenges that the college process may bring!

POM was an amazing help throughout my TCU college selection journey. Was so thankful to be accepted into their direct admission Nursing program.

From the initial FAFSA application to the appeal process- what an amazingly helpful and resourceful staff. Can’t imagine the journey without them and their timely and knowledgeable information. Thanks for all your support!
Shannon H, California

POM helped me with the FAFSA and became who I went to whenever I had questions about applications or the acceptance process. Special thanks to Amy and Kim who still provide helpful suggestions whenever I’m at a loss of what to do next!

POM helped me reach my dreams to attend my dream school! By being financially realistic and providing tools to help me get a head start amongst the other candidates.

Basia N, Arizona

POM has helped me during my college application process because I was able to rely on their counseling when I had any questions. They were able to identify what advice I really needed in order to further my journey. I’m so excited to become part of the wolf pack at NC State this fall!

Sruthi K, North Carolina

I’m a parent of two sons who are just now embarking on their college journey. I’m a financial advisor by profession so I am careful with regard to expenditures and was not sure I would jump on board with a college consulting service when I went to a seminar last summer. My wife and I did engage POM College Consulting to help with both of our sons and I believe it was an excellent decision. One of the things I learned in business school was that it is ok, and often better, to outsource tasks that are outside of your core competency. I believe this is true of the college process. I’m sure I could have figured out all the steps involved to apply for financial aid and research and apply for college admission. I’m also sure now that I could have made mistakes, some of them costly. These tasks are only a piece of what POM College Consulting provides. They also help students determine career direction, study for SAT/ACT tests, search for scholarships and understand how to find the right schools for their unique needs and goals. I would strongly encourage anyone entering the challenging and often confusing college process to consider the services of POM College Consulting. It is money well spent and I am confident that the good decisions we are making based on the advice and guidance of POM staff will far outweigh the costs.
Rick Saunders, Colorado

We were so grateful for the assistance we received from the counselors at POM Counseling when dealing with the daunting task of filling out Federal Aid forms for our daughter’s college funds. They were there to advise us every step of the way, and did most of the work in filling out the forms. The counselors were each friendly, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable about the process. Additionally, with the guidance of POM, we appealed the financial award from her college twice, and received additional awards both times! We will definitely be enlisting the services of POM throughout the duration of our daughter’s college years. Worth every penny, POM is highly recommended by our family!
Roland and Laurel Roemer, Sept 2019

As a first-time parent preparing to send my oldest child to college, I quickly realized how terribly unprepared and behind schedule I was in this process. Little did I realize this would become a part-time job for almost a year. The time commitment needed to fill out college applications, apply for financial aid, and seek outside scholarships was overwhelming to both myself and my son. The POM team helped us every step of the way. With specialized team members, I was able to get all my answers about FAFSA and financial aid, merit scholarships, and college requirement, deadlines, and applications answered knowledgeably and swiftly. I could not imagine what this process would be like without the friendly, experienced team at POM helping us from start to finish
Bailen Family’s

I am an owner of a financial planning practice and a parent of four teenagers. We utilized POM for our oldest child this year and the process was extremely helpful. Our daughter really appreciated the support as well. She was able to go to her first choice school thanks to the appeal process and some additional scholarship. Tuition this year at the private art school she is attending ended up costing the same as junior college! Of course, you can do this yourself but you can also do your own taxes and your own investing which often leads to saving pennies but losing dollars.
Wendy M, Grateful Parent

TO THE ENTIRE TEAM AT POM: I can’t thank you enough for the help, support and guidance through the entire process of applying for colleges and the FAFSA application. There is no way my son and I could have done this on our own. We knew the process would be tedious, the attention to detail on each college application, especially the FAFSA application; the paperwork stress, the accuracy and meeting the deadlines were crucial. The team at POM worked to help my son navigate through the admissions process, paying close attention to all the details and following up to make we got the maximum amount of help. I am a single working mom and work a full-time job with long hours. My son has baseball and boy scouts, AP classes. Our lives are so very full. We really needed the help and services of your company and the whole team at POM was fabulous!!!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people. I know I asked a lot of questions. A LOT OF QUESTIONS. I’m especially grateful that no one treated me or made me feel foolish for not knowing the process or the terminology. Whoever I was working with at that time and at that particular stage (Katie, Reva, Vanessa, Taryn) each took great care in explaining the process in the way I would understand. Finally, Michael did get a nice scholarship with the college he wanted. I thought it was done and we are complete. However, Katie with her experience and knowledge urged that we should work to appeal to get better results and additional financial help. How would I possibly know that unless I had a company like POM working with us and working FOR us. With so much gratitude, I have told most of my friends who have a kid in their Junior year to really start thinking through how much work this is, and all the preparation that needs to take place ahead of time and during the time. I will not hesitate to refer them to your company. Again, I am so thankful and so grateful for your help and services. You have made my life a lot easier in handling this for me and for my son Michael, to have a good college future. He is so excited to start Arizona State University in the fall. THANK YOU POM!
Melinda Thorne (West Hills)

We were very pleased with the admission essay reviews, the personalized scholarship search, and the FAFSA and CSS Profile completion and submission services provided by POM. All of these services helped to save us time and alleviated some concerns during the admission process. In particular, the personalized scholarship search identified some different scholarships than a list provided by my daughter’s school, so it gave her additional scholarships to consider that she did not have on her radar. One of the scholarships that my daughter applied for and was awarded is one that she learned about from POM. Her school should have made her and other students who qualified aware of the scholarship, but they did not. It took my daughter asking her club’s advisor multiple times for the form and submission instructions for the particular scholarship. When my daughter was notified of her award, she was very excited and was glad that she had continued to follow up with her club advisor to get the information she needed prior to the deadline. Thanks, POM, for the personalized scholarship search…it paid off!

Pom helped me by finding a ton of amazing scholarships for me to apply for and has aided me in reviewing my admissions essays! They’ve strengthened my chances of financial success.

Mike and John,
Your company has been wonderful to have in our corner to help us through the very stressful college process. I can’t thank you enough! Just knowing that the FAFSA is filled out by professionals puts our mind at ease. Thank you so much!!
Thank you again,
Marcy Dickson, Colorado

The folks at Piece of Mind Consulting have been invaluable to our family. The process of sending our first child to college was a daunting task when it came to choosing the right school and navigating through the financials. Everyone at POM is competent and responds quickly. They all are able to answer tough questions, give us candid direction to best serve our daughter’s academic goals, mitigate post-graduate debt, and gain as much knowledge when it comes to scholarships and grants. As for value, their savings guidance will pay for itself in short order. I’d highly recommend their service to anyone literally looking for “piece of mind” during this complex process!
Sincerely, – Dan Rocco & Beth Doris

POM College Consulting and Financial Planning played a huge role in our son’s college choices and financial needs. The whole college team of advisors is so helpful. Reva helps tremendously with college readiness and spoke one on one with our son to ensure he was on the correct path for his interests. Taryn, the financial Aid advisor, helped us navigate the confusing piles of fafsa paperwork, and student loan options. Mike gave us so many scholarship options to choose from, and along with all of them was our key financial advisor Mark Clark who is awesome. Thanks to all of them including Jordan at the office who is so helpful with any questions. Our son was able to choose his perfect college, and will save $30,000 over his 4 years. And we definitely feel like we are more financially prepared for college costs and our retirement than we were a year ago.
Linda and Michael Rozmus

I was first introduced to POM College Consulting in October 2017. My only child was entering college. I was overwhelmed and under prepared. POM was there to help me, not only with my FAFSA filing, but to answer any questions I had about the process. Being a single parent, with a hectic work life, POM took that stress away allowing me to focus on my son and what he needed for college entry. I was so satisfied with POM that I am using them again for the upcoming FAFSA filing. The money spent is well worth it knowing it will be done correctly the first time and on time.

Before we started working with POM, we were unsure about several college related items including completing the FAFSA, ACT/SAT study guides, and the scholarship process. By using POM, we received some much needed guidance, assistance and communication from all of the experienced people who interacted with our family. Our daughter enjoyed working with Ms. Reva and found the study guides helped in improving her ACT score. We saw the benefit first-hand with our daughter’s experience and we are now using POM with our son. POM is for anyone who has reservations about the college admissions and scholarship process. They have the people in place to help and guide you with your college strategy. Many thanks!
James, Houston, TX

We have been very pleased with our experience using POM. Taryn and her team have always been available to talk to us, working around our schedules to answer all of our questions. They also greatly assisted us on completing the FAFSA and CSS profile for the colleges. This is the first time we experienced going through the chaotic college process, but POM truly made it easier on our family! Our daughter not only was accepted to her dream college, but also had a wonderful financial package. Through POM’s appeal letter to the financial committee at the college, we were able to receive a package that makes our daughter’s college experience so much more affordable. Our experience with POM was truly amazing. Thank you again for all of your help!
William and Alice

The process was overwhelming. I’m sooo glad I had your help, plus the money I saved more than paid off cost of your service. Sincere Thank you!

The best hour I have EVER spent learning! Thanks.
Terry, Indianapolis IN

I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know and how easily mistakes can be made. The guidance was money well spent. I will use POM again when my youngest is applying down the road.
Gary, Shaker Heights Ohio

If I saw the FAFSA again I was going to scream!” Thank you for taking that pile of mistakes off of my hands and giving me true peace of mind.
Teresa, Fairlawn Ohio

I am thankful for the help and at same time, disgusted at the cost of higher education!
Kathy, Cuyahoga Falls Ohio

We were able to successfully work out a package that was a win-win for all.
