About this Project:
My project addresses the financial challenges faced by many students who struggle to afford college tuition fees and seek guidance on how to manage their educational expenses.
In designing the project, I developed an app that connects students with tuition experts who can provide financial advice and support in covering their college payments. This app is particularly valuable for students in need of guidance, as it allows them to easily communicate with experts through messaging or phone calls for personalized assistance and advice.
The app functions by offering a platform where students can access a network of tuition experts who can guide them in navigating tuition-related challenges. Students can engage with experts through text or voice calls to receive advice on payment plans, financial aid, and other related topics. Through these interactions, students can gain the support they need to manage their tuition payments effectively.

Feedback from the Judges:
Amazing job, Jose and Nameera - this was one of my favorites! You displayed a great attention to detail and have a great foundation for managing projects. Working in tech for a global company, there are a lot of projects needing direction, so project managers come in here. You've done a fantastic job of identifying an issue, finding the root cause, and proposing a solution!
I really love this idea and think it's something a lot of students can use. Kudos for doing the survey at the beginning and finding out what the users care about and the problems they face. Using a messaging feature really helps the connection with the counselor and can go a long way to make this difficult conversation more human. Thanks for all your hard work!
You’ve identified a really important problem to work on, and I think your app is an innovative solution for helping students manage tuition finances. I like that you started with some user research; that’s always a great way to begin, by learning about your users to inform your designs. Your presentation slides focused on seamless tuition payments, while your demo spent more time on the tuition experts — which do you think is more important for the users you’ve identified? All in all, great project and nice work!
