The iGrad online financial education platform is an interactive experience that employs adaptive learning to help students sharpen their knowledge about education costs, living expenses and financial planning beyond college. The application includes optional federal entrance and exit counseling, and leverages articles, videos, games, and interactive modules.
San Diego, CA, February 03, 2015 --(PR.com)-- iGrad’s Financial Literacy Education Platform has been named a “Top Product” in the University Business magazine Readers' Choice survey for the third consecutive year.
The prestigious award recognizes the most innovative products in higher education, as measured by readers of University Business Magazine, the most widely circulated university business publication.
“I really learned a lot from the iGrad modules. Having all the information certainly lessens the ‘fear of the unknown’ when borrowing a large sum of money. What a great idea!” says Erin Hughes, student at the University of Phoenix.
The University Business award adds to the widespread recognition for iGrad, including being named Education Program of the Year by the Institute for Financial Literacy and receiving the Outstanding Consumer Information Award from the Association for Financial Counseling, Planning and Education (AFCPE).
“Three years of recognition at this high level of competition says we are the preeminent financial literacy source, and that fuels our commitment to work even harder to exceed expectations,” says iGrad Vice President Kris Alban.
“Financing a post-secondary education – whether students are coming out of high school or from the workforce – becomes more challenging with every semester. This year, we have added several additional experts to our team of skilled educators, to help provide targeted and detailed information about how students can handle their finances during and after their education,” he says.
