Higher One® Partners with Author Ramit Sethi to Offer Financial Content for Students
Partnership with notable finance and entrepreneurship expert extends Company's financial literacy efforts
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its ongoing commitment to financial literacy for college students, Higher One, Inc., a financial services leader for higher education institutions, is now partnering with notable financial expert Ramit Sethi to offer money management tips to their account holders.
The partnership will result in a series of free personal finance articles written for Higher One by Sethi, author of the bestseller I Will Teach You To Be Rich. This initiative is another way in which Higher One is fulfilling its mission of improving financial literacy among students at higher education institutions across the country.
Sethi is the founder and author of IWillTeachYouToBeRich.com, a blog on personal finance and personal entrepreneurship that hosts over 175,000 readers per month and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and on NPR. In addition to his blog, he speaks on personal finance and entrepreneurship across the country.
In his first article for Higher One, students will learn how to leverage their personal talents to be more entrepreneurial. Every few weeks, Sethi will author a new article for Higher One on topics ranging from spending control, banking and credit cards, to other important money management topics.
"We are thrilled about this great addition to our suite of financial literacy offerings, particularly One For Your Money—our student-facing online community, which pulls from both student experience and expert knowledge to give students the tools to strengthen their fiscal know-how," said Mary Johnson, Financial Literacy and Consumer Advocacy Manager at Higher One.
"This partnership with Higher One is a great opportunity to educate college students on the ins and outs of financial literacy—a topic that in today's economy is more important now than ever," said Sethi.
