Ready to take control of your financial future? Join CollegeAdvisor and Fizz to learn how credit really works—and how students can start building it the smart, low-risk way that sets them up for financial success.
Credit can feel confusing—but understanding it early is one of the smartest financial moves a student can make. In this webinar, we’ll break down the credit essentials every college-bound student and family should know: how credit works, how to build it responsibly, and how to avoid common mistakes that can follow you for years.
Whether you’re opening your first credit card or starting to think about financial independence, this session will give you the knowledge and tools to make smart, informed decisions. We’ll cover everything from credit scores and reports to spending strategies and building good financial habits from day one.
In partnership with Fizz, a card designed to help students build credit without the risk of debt, this webinar is perfect for high school juniors and seniors, college students, and parents looking to build a strong foundation for long-term financial success. Stick around for a live Q&A at the end!
