Capital One has made an effort to appeal to the younger generation with marketing efforts such as branded cafes where Capital One cardholders receive special discounts, as well as exclusive access to tickets to sporting events, concerts and other entertainment. Considering how focused they are on targeting young people, it comes as no surprise that they issue credit cards tailored specifically to students. 

Currently, Capital One offers two credit cards made specifically for students: the Capital One SavorOne Rewards for Students Credit Card and the Capital One Quicksilver Rewards for Students Credit Card.

Whether you’re sending yourself or a family member to college, annual tuition fees can be daunting. In the 2022-2023 school year, the average annual tuition fee was $39,400 for private universities and $10,950 for public universities (for state residents). That’s no small price to pay.

However, it’s not necessarily all doom and gloom when it comes to paying tuition.

Many credit card issuers offer cards geared toward college students with little or no credit history and scores in the “average” range (which is typically considered to be credit scores between 580 and 680). Student cards are meant to help students build credit so that they can graduate with a solid credit history, and some of them even offer rewards in the form of cash back or points.

Capital One offers several student credit cards, all of which are available to actively enrolled students with average credit scores.
