The ABCs of Credit Card Finance is a program aimed at educating high school seniors and young adults enter­ing the world of credit card offers and budget planning. Many adults have also found the program helpful as a refresher course on promotional offers and other special offers from credit card companies.

ABCs was created by the Center for Student Credit Card Education, Inc. and instructs students on how to wisely choose and responsibly use a credit card before they enter the workforce.

The program consists of a student primer, “The ABC’s of Credit Card Finance – Essential Facts for Students” and an accompanying Trainer’s Guide and PowerPoint Presentation. Students are provided with a primer, which they are able to keep for future reference. Teachers/instructors are given the Trainer’s Guide and PowerPoint Presentation to facilitate teaching this important information.

By participating in the program, participants will develop the skills necessary to build a positive credit history that will benefit them for years to come. This program can help prevent creditors from profiting at the expense of our young adults.

SAMPLE OF MATERIALS

The Essential Facts for Students booklet is an important tool in the seminar and will be a valuable resource to attendees following the seminar. Each student will receive one to take home with them.
