Credit Cards for Graduate Students

Customize your search for a Graduate Student Credit Card

Given the fact that graduate students are typically older and more financially experienced than college students, they tend to be able to qualify for better credit cards. A college student, after all, is unlikely to be eligible for a credit card for good credit. It’s a different story for doctoral candidates and masters students, who might have returned to school after beginning a career and/or are currently working part-time. Which graduate student credit card you eventually decide upon not only depends on your credit level (check out our free credit estimator), but also your intended purpose. While you can find great rewards and low interest rates amongst the graduate student credit cards listed below, some grad students, especially those close to graduation, decide to opt against getting the best credit card terms possible, in favor of their school’s credit card, which will provide financial support to your university based on your usage. Find your school’s card by entering the name of your university in the text box on the top right of the page. Whichever way you’re leaning, we suggest comparing a variety of options before applying for the best credit card for graduate students like you.
