What if prospective students could know the real sticker price of their school’s tuition before they even applied? In this episode, Allison talks with Jennifer Walker, Vice President for Enrollment Management at Brandeis University, and Alan Mlynek, Chief Product Officer at Noodle, about Faye, an AI-powered tuition agent designed to give prospective students a personalized estimate of their cost of attendance before they even apply or file a FAFSA. Jennifer and Alan share what it took to turn an idea that initially seemed impossible into a new approach to college cost transparency. They explore how Faye differs from traditional net price calculators, how AI can create a more personalized and conversational experience for families, and why the project required more than just innovative technology.
