iGrad was developed by a group of former financial aid professionals who realized that many college students and graduates do not have access to the tools needed to succeed in the real world. We partner with colleges across the country to provide a comprehensive and customized financial literacy program.
Financial Literacy curriculum needs three qualities to be effective: it must be continuous and ongoing, it must be interactive and engaging, and it must be relevant to each individual. This curriculum is most effectively delivered in a “community” setting, whether online or in person.
To spread awareness about the need for improved financial literacy education in this country, and to give our users the knowledge and preparation necessary to make wise financial decisions and achieve their life goals in a way that is fun and easy-to-understand.
iGrad was first conceived in 2008, when former executives from the student loan industry came together to discuss how recent graduates were drowning in debt, having a difficult time finding employment, and had no real place to turn to find relief. It was clear that the only financial literacy resources available were ineffective, one-dimensional products.
