San Diego, CA, October 28, 2025 –(PR.com)– iGrad has partnered with LSU Health Science Center New Orleans to provide its customized, interactive online and mobile student financial wellness platform to over 3,100 university students.
Launching January 2026, LSUHSC New Orleans’s iGrad platform will offer comprehensive, customized, and interactive information on important financial topics, including building and maintaining good credit, budgeting student loan/debt management, and loan calculators.
All students will have complete access to the platform with the goal of fostering an environment of wellness that increases students’ awareness of financial literacy.

Financial stress remains one of the biggest barriers to student success nationwide. A recent survey found that nearly 80% of students say financial stress negatively affects their mental health, and 59% have considered dropping out of school because of financial concerns.(1) Programs like iGrad aim to reverse these trends by equipping students with practical tools and confidence to manage money, reduce stress, and stay focused on their education.
“Anna’s appreciation for the importance of financial empowerment came through in every conversation,” said iGrad Vice President of Business Development Donna Miller. “We are thrilled to be working with LSUHSC-New Orleans, a school clearly committed to supporting their students.”
Using proprietary algorithms, iGrad personalizes financial education to each user’s needs and includes:
Tools, quizzes, videos, articles, and an extensive library of multimedia content.
A student loan tracking tool that aggregates loan balances and estimates monthly payments to help students prepare for repayment.
Interactive content on key topics such as credit, budgeting, and long-term planning.
“We selected iGrad because it offers comprehensive financial literacy resources tailored to the diverse needs of our student population including undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. We wanted a platform that could support all students, regardless of academic level or financial background. iGrad meets that need with personalized content, interactive tools, and a unique feature that recommends resources based on a short student assessment.” – Anna Daigle, M.Ed., FAAC®, Director of Student Financial Aid
