helping students find aid for college

award student credit cards

You should consider having your own credit card while attending college for two reasons:

  • you want to avoid having cash lying around that opens you up to theft;
  • and many local merchants won't accept student checks.

Your personal card can be used for buying books, supplies, food and recreation. And with good credit managment, you can start building up your credit history.
