About Us
Excelsis College Financial Aid Services is a family run business that strives to provide our clients with the outstanding service. With over 15 years of experience in college financial aid services we have helped thousands of satisfied clients navigate the financial road to college. It can be complicated and overwhelming for some people, actually most! Our goal is to ease the stress, explain in plain language all the questions that arise, and file all the necessary forms in a timely manner.
​
My connection to college financial aid began when my oldest daughter was starting to search and apply to colleges. Thankfully, I recalled a long time friend and soon-to-be mentor who counseled us on college financial aid. This one meeting was the pivotal moment that made it possible for my daughter to attend college that Fall.
So in 2005, I joined my mentor’s business as an independent contractor helping people just like me who needed assistance applying for college financial aid.
​
Fast forward to 2021, we continue to grow the business and add new human resources as my son is now joining Excelsis. He will be assuming the many responsibilities and duties of the daily operations along with the current Excelsis Team. Our team consists of Counselors, Accountants, Analysts, and Creative Marketing professionals all working to help you with this financial endeavor.
​
As much as we count on our website and digital marketing presence, we also rely on word of mouth and personal references. Excelsis prides itself on the latter as that is what has helped spread the message about the business. Many of our customers turn into long term relationships as Excelsis services the family from the first to the last student. It is those customers that we cherish and that simple word of mouth action from one family to another. In turn this helps keep our operating cost low which enables us to keep our fees affordable to everyone. We invite anyone interested to read the testimonials, contact us to chat, and be confident you have chosen the best company in the field of college financial aid.
