Student Credit Cards
Student credit cards are formulated to appeal to a younger demographic, who may or may not have an established credit rating. In some instances, student credit cards may not require a cosigner, or may reduce the APR after a set amount of time with no penalties. Several prepaid options are available as well, allowing parents to closely monitor a student's spending activity.
