Our family worked with Pat Nehme during the 2009-10 school year. Pats
services were invaluable to us as we worked through all that was needed
to accomplish our college preparation. Pat helped us determine the right
mix of colleges to look into and introduced us to some new colleges
too. She explained the different applications and their timing, what we
needed from our high school and how to get it. She reviewed all our
documents before we submitted them.
Pat met with our son on a regular basis to keep him on track and
motivated. Pat's knowledge of the NCAA helped us manage that system too
.At the end when all applications were in and acceptances came, she
helped us review them from both an academic and financial perspective.
Pat provided tremendous insight into a process that we knew nothing
about and she kept us on track and feeling comfortable that we had all
our ducks in a row. She is extremely dedicated with great attention to
detail. We always felt that our son’s needs were important to her and
that she was there for us now matter how trivial the question seemed.
She truly made the whole process less daunting and helped things run
more smoothly. We highly recommend Pat’s services and have and will
continue to refer her.

Hi, Pat - We want to thank you so much! We just heard back and our son has a full scholarship based on your advice about the adoption law after age 13. My husband had called and the school said they were sorry but he didn't qualify for financial aid. Mark told them our son gotten aid at a similar college because of the law, but the financial aid lady said she had never heard of such a law. She said she would check. Well, several hours later she called back and apologized profusely. She said she learned something new and informed us they wanted to offer our son a full ride to school! Praise God for you Pat, this is huge for our family. We can now send all our older adopted kids to college. We are currently able to go back to adopt one more older child because of the money we saved on college costs. How can we thank you enough for a gift like this. We do not have the words! Thank you, thank you.

Hi, Pat!
Just wanted to let you know Jordan is settled into college life. She is very happy to be there and is getting along with her roommate. She's probably getting involved in too many activities….and she already went on a date! The music/orchestra director loves her. She is in the choir (didn’t know she wanted to do that!) and made 2nd chair for the 2nd violins as a freshman. She has an on campus job for work study in the art department. While she was not happy about having to get the job she did say it was a fun place to be. She has not really said anything about coming home……not surprising…..too much fun stuff going on.
