Creditor provides collegiates with online resources

MasterCard knows college students have more than money on their mind.

The company's Web site provides the expected links to credit cards marketed to students, but it also provides information about managing credit targeted toward that same audience. Realizing that college is many students' first experience with credit, they have included a page that explains how to build a solid credit history. There is also a section on how to budget for those who have to pay for their higher education. And there is a page of answers to questions frequently asked of the credit company which contains quite a bit of information for those who are willing to search through the list.

The site also offers some unexpected sections, including resources for job hunters, a list of links meant to help students with online research and a guide to getting financial aid. Students may find the site useful, but others would probably be best advised to look elsewhere for comprehensive credit information.

 
      Best bets:
  • Financial aid info: Learn how to get more college dollars with this guide.
  • Credit building blocks: Explains how to establish good credit.
  • FAQ: Find answers to questions that are commonly asked about credit and money issues.
