Hi, my name is David Silverstone. I’m reaching out to you because I believe all students should have the ability to access the proper resources that will help them understand credit and what to expect (and be aware of) when they go to college. John Ulzheimer, a recognized credit industry expert, recently wrote an article on our website that discusses these topics. You can find the article here:

Many high school seniors will be moving on to college soon. Do you think you would be able to link to this article in the next post for your school newspaper so that it may reach a larger audience? I believe it would be an informative and helpful resource for your seniors. I’d welcome any personal thoughts your students would like to add in the post, and I am happy to answer any questions you or any of your student readers may have.
Given the right resources, students can have the best possible opportunities for a successful life.
