College

Paying for College
If you want to go to college, it’s never too early to start thinking about financial aid. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) cannot be submitted until January 1 each year, but there are steps you can take before that deadline to familiarize yourself with the process.

Student Loans
If you’re like millions of other college students, you’ve taken out student loans to pay for college. The average American student owes about $17,000 after graduation.

Credit and Debt
If you are trying to establish credit for the first time, you’re likely to find yourself in a Catch 22 situation: you need credit to establish a credit history, but you can’t get credit without a credit history. While this may seem challenging, it’s not impossible.

Renter's Insurance
You worked hard to buy your big-screen TV and surround sound system, and you don’t want to have to pay to replace them if someone breaks into your apartment. That’s why you need renter’s insurance.
