History of iGrad

iGrad was developed by a group of former financial aid professionals who realized that college students and recent college graduates may not have access to the appropriate tools needed to succeed in the real world. iGrad's mission is to empower young adults by providing an online community with intuitive tools, resources and content to help them thrive. In addition to the main part of the site, iGrad also administers the Entrance and Exit counseling, counseling that is mandatory for any students who secure federal student loans.
