Sep 24,2023RISLA has been an invaluable part of our college experience. They were incredibly helpful every step of the way from filling out FAFSA to helping our son evaluate his financial packages to acquiring loans for multiple children over the past three years. Every person we have worked with has been helpful beyond our expectations. Thank you RISLA for helping to make college finances possible and helping to reduce our anxiety through the journey.
