Another good user guide (You asked for it!)
A couple of weeks ago, our good friend Staci shared a useful resource related to checking accounts and received a comment requesting something similar for credit cards.
Well, look no further!
The Student Guide to Good Credit, Smart Moves Today for College and Beyond has the basics for understanding and building a solid credit history. This short brochure explains why a high credit score is important, offers three easy ways to build good credit, and provides tips on how to avoid fees and finance charges. It also includes online resources and important phone numbers for reference.
FYI, the brochure automatically comes with every new College Credit Card but is helpful for anyone wanting to shore up on basic credit knowledge. Check out the file here on the blog or request it at your local Wells Fargo store!

Scholarship??... yes, learn proper grammar and that might help you get one!

@ alias--I commend you for taking control of your future! While I can't help you actually get a scholarship, I can point you toward some helpful scholarship resources.
First, Wells Fargo offers a CollegeSTEPS Program and Scholarship Sweepstakes (just for high school students) as well as a free scholarship search tool. Check out wellsfargo.com/student and look under the "Need Advice" heading. Another popular scholarship search site is fastweb.com. Finally, don't forget to ask your high school guidance counselor or your college financial aid office for suggestions--they'll know about local and school-specific scholarships, too. Good luck!
@ n/a--Awww, c'mon! Give alias a break!
