Money Matters: You Can’t Live Without It

Hello poor college students and welcome to Campus Capital, your source for financial information that actually makes sense.

The aim of this blog is to make the money search easier for those at the University of Washington; it is easier to compete on a local level than in national competitions for funds. On it I will link you to resources and help explain how to navigate the financial world both in, and outside, of college.

Those who pay their way through college know it is an expensive and exasperating process. Students are constantly told that there are thousands, perhaps millions, of dollars out there for them, but sifting through all the paperwork from multiple organizations can be daunting.
Graduating with serious college debt is not only bad for your bank account; it can hamper your career options as well.

Students with outstanding loans do not have the luxury to take unpaid (or poorly paid) internships – they must start working right away, and not necessarily in the field of their choice.

This blog will also include ways to cut costs across the board and will attempt to demystify the various financial jargon so often thrown at unsuspecting and uninformed investors.
