“Everyone I have dealt with at Ketterman College Funding has been exceptional. Kim, Barbra, and Patrick, have all done a magnificent job for my son who is attending USD. Prior to my son, they worked for friends who sent their daughter to Sonoma State. First class operation.”

—Candace A. (Arcadia, CA)

“I cannot recommend Ketterman College Funding enough. Their service over the last year and right up to the present has successfully helped our family navigate the process of college financial aid and it has been worth every penny. The information and guidance they provide will likely save your family more in financial aid than the price of their service.”

—Jeffrey K. (Woodland Hills, CA )

“Kim and company really delivered what I needed, and more. Through various strategies Kim managed to reduce my expected family contribution by $15K! I am terrified of spreadsheets in general, and math gives me hives, so having Patrick dealing with all that was priceless. He was also very helpful in addressing a possible financial aid appeal. All in all I was very satisfied with the helpful, knowledgeable and timely service, and plan to use them throughout my daughter's college years.”

—Sandy E. (Santa Monica, CA)  

“The college application process can be so daunting!  Thankfully my daughter brought home a flyer from Ketterman College Funding.  They made the process so easy...I'm thankful they were there to guide me through this very confusing and frankly overwhelming process!  The entire team Kim, Patrick, Linda, Lina, and Monica are amazing.  I must emphasize the team helps and guides you through the process, but you and your child must do your part too.  I think they are miracle workers but if my child wasn't so focused and left to just me, I'm not sure how the process would have turned out.”

—Leslie G. (Los Angeles, CA)  

“Both my son and daughter have used the Ketterman College Funding's services.  We found it is invaluable and I have recommended to many of my friends.With their service, my son got full scholarship which covers all tuition and fees, my daughter went to a private school covers 75% all expenses and it is about similar cost to a public college.”

—Yin L (Mission Viejo, CA) 

“Ketterman College Funding is fantastic. I have used them for over 7 years and they have saved me time and made the process so simple. I can't say enough about them. Patrick is extremely knowledgeable, comforting and responsive.”

—Ileana W. (Pacific Palisades, CA) 

“Ketterman College Funding help my daughter with her college tuition funding and it was all very easy.  Kim and her staff help us with all the questions and submitted our forms on time without skipping a beat.  I would recommend Ketterman College Funding to anybody that have any questions at all about funding college costs.”

—Marty M. (Simi Valley, CA)  

“Kim is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the college funding labyrinth. She predicted which school was the best fit and how much college funding they would offer my son and she was right on target.  I plan to work with Ketterman for all four years my son attends school.”

—K.C (Culver City, CA)  

“We've entrusted the Ketterman team with two college kids over the past 5 years and counting and in those years we've experienced nothing but amazing service. Every new year we have one less thing to worry about knowing the Ketterman team is helping us. Every question gets answered quickly and thoroughly and any new change is handled accordingly. With this service we have the luxury of not being stressed over financial aid and we hope that someday everyone can experience the reassurance the Ketterman team brings us every year.” 

—Alejandra L (Torrance, CA)  

“Barbara Deems and Patrick Comer are amazing. We first started using them because we encountered major problems when we first filed the FAFSA. The UC system was giving us a hard time and was offering minimal financial support. We were referred to Barbara and Patrick and they were amazing. They were responsive, helpful, and held our hands along the whole way. They have saved us thousands of dollars over the years and we are so appreciative to have found them. I highly recommend using them you will not be disappointed.”

—Michael M. (Los Angeles, CA)  

“Used this company to fill out our FAFSA and various college funding forms and they did a fantastic job! So much so we will be using them to complete the forms every year for the next three years! They certainly know what they're doing and if you have a somewhat complicated financial portfolio, then take a load off and let them do the work!”

—Kathy N. (Huntington Beach, CA)

“I have been with Ketterman for four years of undergraduate school for my twin sons.  They have both graduated, and we have NO school loan debt.    Now one of the boys is in grad school, and we continued using Ketterman to help us through the process.   And his first year of school has been fully funded by the college without the use of any loans.  I couldn't imagine going through this process without their help.   It's been worth every penny and every minute spent with them.”

—Lisa M. (San Clemente, CA)  

“I highly recommend Ketterman College Funding company as a resource and a partner for families with college bound kids. We joined them when our son was a senior in high school, but I wish we had known about them when he was a freshman or a sophomore in high school. They helped us understand the finances necessary for college and how to prepare our FAFSA form for best way to minimize our cost. Lea was extremely helpful and met with us as many times as we needed in order to help us financially position ourselves for the years ahead. I know we saved a lot of money just by listening to her advice. Our son is going to get a wonderful education and we will not be eating Top Ramen for our dinners.”

—Babak K. (Costa Mesa, CA)  

“Our family started with Ketterman College Funding in 2012 and the whole experience has been worth it. All the confusing college terms made clear by John and our go to guy Patrick, in turn we have learned valuable information along the way. I appreciate that Ketterman has kept their cost to renew down that has helped as well. My son is still benefiting from great financial aid packages as he progresses thru college, saving tons of money on tuition. I highly recommend Ketterman College Funding to families looking for help with college. Our family is so very thankful that we have benefited from your services.”

—Lisa C. (Santa Clarita, CA)  

“We have been w Ketteman Funding for about 6-7 years, and we are still renewing for next year even with the doubt that one child may or may not need it next year(she may graduate early, or may not), because the cost out weighs the expense!!! Ketterman has saved us more money than we imagined! It still kills me that we didn't take advantage of this service and company for our oldest child! Sure, we pay a commission, but we get not only a piece of mind(which is priceless), more money back then the commission paid, and reassurance when we have doubt or questions. I'm telling you, we are still hitting our heads that we "wasted" our money by NOT going through Kettermen for our 1st college student. Its a huge savings, reassurance and a convenience. Only the best are hired and they become like family. Love them. It's more than 100% worth it!!!”

—Linda S. (Agoura Hills) 

“We've used Ketterman for several years, as filling out all the financial forms (FAFSA and others) and getting them done by the deadline, makes my brain hurt. We have two kids in college now (the application list was huge for both kids) and now it's so simple - a call with someone who knows what they're doing and it's done. They were also helpful in getting us more money than we were originally offered.”

—Claudia H. (Pacific Palisades, CA)  

“I have enjoyed working with Kim Ketterman, i think she is a very bright woman, who knows her business. She has a wonderful team behind her. I have had my phone calls returned immediately. I just signed up my second child and Im looking forward to working with them again!”

—Anne I, (Hidden Hills, CA)

“I have utilized this service and Kim Ketterman for 13 years with all three of my children. I have always found her and the service she provides to be extremely professional and helpful in every aspect of the college application process. If you haven't yet experienced the complexities of college application for your child, stand by! It is off the charts complex and confusing. Without professional guidance and direction the college application process would have been a complete nightmare. The professionals at Ketterman College Funding were always there to assist in every way possible and made themselves available to answer all of my many, many questions. They are the best!”

—Dana M. (Palos Verdes, CA)    

“I have worked with Ketterman since 2012 when my eldest headed off to college. They have helped me with all required documentation, advice about universities, and there whenever I had a question. They helped with my eldest 4 years, graduated Purdue in 2016.  Then helped with my daughter, currently at her third year at university of Colorado Boulder and recently with my youngest this fall attending USF. I have given their information to family and friends over the years and 9 of the 11 families have used Ketterman. The staff is the best and always available to answer any questions or discuss any needs that come up. Last year when my husband passed away unexpectedly, I phoned and asked for their help and they made time to see me immediately to get everything in needed completed. Kim Ketterman set aside time to see me right away to help.  I love everyone at Ketterman and am so glad I found them.”

—Elizabeth Z (Granada Hills, CA)

“If you need a heart transplant you search out the best cardiologist. If you need advice and direction on the college process you search out the best college planners. KCF are the experts on college planning.”

—Lynn M (Santa Monica, CA)  

“This process was so easy with the help of Ketterman College Funding. Not only have I referred several parents to Ketterman, but would not think of going through this process without Ketterman College Funding helping me and holding my hand every step of the way. My daughter will be entering her Junior year at a very prestigious private college, which was partly possible by the help I received from Ketterman College Funding. I would highly recommend Ketterman College Funding to any parents with prospective college students.”

—Rhonda C. (Irvine, CA)  

Trying to decide which college to send your child to and how to pay for it can be daunting. Ketterman removed all of that stress. They were with us every step of the way, helping find the school that was the best academic fit for our son and financial fit for our budget. We found an excellent private university with a merit aid offer that reduced tuition by 40. We never thought we could afford more than community college for our children, but with Ketterman's help, we found we could afford private universities for both of our children. Our son is graduating this year with no student loans, and we expect our daughter to do the same when it's her turn. Don't think that you can do this on your own, Ketterman knows their stuff. Several of my friends have used Ketterman also, and their results have been similar to ours. My friends who tried to do this on their own didn't get near the savings that we did.

—Lorie V. (Foothill Ranch, CA)    

“I have been so very pleased with the service and personnel at Ketterman ColIege Funding.  They have "held my hand" through the process and removed the overwhelming anxiety that I was experiencing.  I followed their guidance and my son's profile and scholarship awards materialized exactly the way they depicted my situation.  I continue to followed their guidance and feel supported at every turn.  I look forward to continuing our journey with Kimmie and her team leading the way.”

—Ruth F (San Francisco, CA)  

“Ok so all I went to is the free seminar but I left so overwhelmed with all the money available and possibilities. I was thinking that we would have to do community college for two years n then see what we can afford. I left with great expectations of my daughter being able to go to a university for four years. I did not know these kind of companies existed. I am going to go for the full package. I can't wait to get started. I'm so glad I got the flyer and responded.”

—Gail O. (Woodland Hills, CA)  

"I would like to take this time to thank Ketterman College for helping me with my daughters financial planning.  Their service and work ethic is impeccable. Their financial advisers worked night and day with us to get my child the funding she deserved. Our adviser is Lea Cruz, who is very supportive and hardworking.  Without her and her staffs help we would not have been able to figure all the details out.   Our money was well-spent and we highly recommend this company to every parent we meet that have college attending kids."    

—Niti D. (La Mirada, CA)    

“Ketterman College Funding is wonderful!  I initially had to drag my husband with me to her seminar as he was dubious that she could truly help us save money on college tuition.  She ended up far exceeding our expectations! The information she taught us was invaluable.  We have one son about to start his Junior year in college and another who is an upcoming Freshman.  Because of Kim, they are both attending wonderful private universities for the same cost as public schools.  We are very grateful to Kim and to all of her staff; they form a great team and make the entire process easy.  I would absolutely recommend Ketterman College Funding to any and all parents entering the world of college applications!”
