Gourmet Burger Authority is Offering the Red Ramen Burger to the First 22 College Students for 22 cents –Average Cost of Packet of Ramen, a Quintessential College Staple

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., March 29, 2016 – The ramen burger – the latest food frenzy to sweep New York and Los Angeles – is going national for the first time! Starting April 4, guests can line up at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews (Red Robin) restaurants around the country to get a taste of the highly sought after culinary craze. To celebrate the limited time offer, Red Robin has dubbed April 19 Red Ramen Day, and the first 22 college students in the door with an appetite and valid student ID can get the Red Ramen Burger and Bottomless Steak Fries for only 22 cents – the average cost of a packet of ramen, a quintessential college staple.

“We closely follow emerging trends, and when the ramen burger first debuted, our culinary team worked to develop Red Robin’s take on the foodie favorite, enabling us to be the first to offer it nationally,” said Jonathan Muhtar, Red Robin’s senior vice president and chief marketing officer. “At Red Robin, we strive to constantly provide our guests with unique experiences and menu items that they can’t get anywhere else in the casual dining industry.”

The Red Ramen Burger is the latest deliciously daring innovation from Red Robin, which has previously introduced ghost pepper to its menu before it became trendy and mainstreamed the beer milkshake. Available through June 5, the Red Ramen Burger, served on a crispy seasoned ramen bun, is topped with teriyaki and Chiu Chow aioli, a medley of chili-infused shredded cabbage, carrot and onion and garnished with fresh basil. To further celebrate Red Ramen Day on April 19, Red Robin is giving all guests a $2.22 discount off the new burger in participating restaurants.

Robust data sets and alternative metrics power a new MasterCard for creditworthy international college students overlooked by traditional scoring models

Palo Alto, CA — March 21, 2016 — SelfScore, a Palo Alto-based fintech startup, has launched the first dedicated MasterCard credit card designed for international college students in the U.S. SelfScore determines creditworthiness using alternative data comprised of the borrower’s education, source of funding, and career prospects — no U.S. credit history required. This credit card is the first in a series of products SelfScore is introducing to meet the financial needs of students overlooked by the traditional FICO scoring model.

SelfScore’s model measures potential — not just risk — when connecting with new borrowers. SelfScore CEO Kalpesh Kapadia elaborates: “International students are granted access to the U.S. educational system. However, they’re not offered a clear on-ramp to financial success. Providing that on-ramp is our intention.” Kapadia, a former international student who created a career in the U.S., started SelfScore with the intent of supporting this “deserving, yet underserved” population.

Over one million international students in the U.S. simply have no credit history to demonstrate and are thus considered high-risk customers by lenders using existing scoring models. Citing their $31 billion annual investment into the U.S. economy, as well as international student success stories such as Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, SelfScore’s confidence in this population is its calling card. “The college campus is America’s new Ellis Island,” says SelfScore CEO Kalpesh Kapadia, who is a former international student. “The Statue of Liberty’s motto is no longer, ‘Bring us your tired, your hungry, your sick.’ It’s, ‘Bring us tomorrow’s doctors, inventors, and CEOs.’”

The SelfScore MasterCard is a credit card with no annual fee and no security deposit. This is similar to the kind of introductory credit card that American citizens can easily obtain. Customers can manage payments and view their account balance via an online dashboard. Credit limits for new users are available up to $1,500.*

To apply, visit www.selfscore.com/apply-student-credit-card.

About SelfScore
SelfScore opens the U.S. financial system to deserving but underserved audiences using alternative metrics and data. In 2016, we’re connecting international students with fair credit before expanding into other products and populations. SelfScore is a venture-backed financial startup whose investors include Accel Partners, Aspect Ventures, Fenway Summer Ventures and Pelion Venture Partners. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter, subscribe to our newsletter, The Score, and check out the latest news on our frequently updated blog.

*Restrictions apply. New borrowers must be in the continental U.S. at the time of application. Card is only available for purchases inside the U.S.

‘Majoring in Money: How American College Students Manage Their Finances’ Shows Students are Conscientious, Careful, and Determined to be Financially Aware Consumers

More Than Half of College Students Have a Credit Card; Nearly Two-Thirds Pay Full Balance Each Month

NEWARK, Del., March 17, 2016–Conventional wisdom says young people have a lot to learn when it comes to managing money, but the reality is most American college students are handling their finances carefully and conscientiously, according to “Majoring in Money: How American College Students Manage Their Finances,” a new national study from Sallie Mae, the nation’s saving, planning, and paying for college company, and Ipsos, an independent global market research company.

Taking the Right Steps
“Majoring in Money” compiled the results of online interviews of 800 college students between the ages of 18 and 24, and reveals students are taking the right steps when it comes to managing money. More than three fourths (77 percent) of college students pay bills on time; six in ten (60 percent) never spend more money than they have available. In addition, college students are putting money aside each month. More than half (55 percent) save at least some money every month, and 24 percent report having an emergency fund.

Responsibly Using Credit Cards
While most college students make purchases with debit cards (85 percent), cash (86 percent), and mobile payments (77 percent), more than half–56 percent–have at least one credit card. In fact, roughly six in 10 (59 percent) report their primary reason for getting a credit card was to build their credit history. “Majoring in Money” also finds that the majority of students with credit cards are using them responsibly and paying the bill themselves. Specifically, 63 percent pay the balance in full each month, and 73 percent pay the bill without assistance from a parent or other adult. Roughly seven in 10 (69 percent) report an average monthly balance of $500 or less.

“Having a credit card doesn’t necessarily mean students are overspending,” said Julia Clark, senior vice president, Ipsos Public Affairs. “The reality is they are demonstrating sound reasoning and thoughtful decision-making, and they are managing their payments effectively.”

Understanding Credit Benefits and Behaviors
“Majoring in Money” finds most college students understand the value of good credit, and the majority know how to get and maintain it. Nine in 10 college students (91 percent) know having a good credit record can help them qualify for different types of credit and improve their access to favorable interest rates. The majority know paying bills on time (93 percent) and keeping credit balances low (63 percent) are positive credit behaviors, and opening multiple credit accounts simultaneously (64 percent) and using as much credit as possible (61 percent) are negative credit behaviors.

“It’s clear that today’s college students are focused on effectively managing their finances,” said Raymond J. Quinlan, chairman and CEO, Sallie Mae. “Many of these young people grew up in the wake of a financial crisis and, in turn, have adopted behaviors that promote sound credit management. At the same time, they are eager to learn more to continue on the road to financial stability and success. With free tools and resources to help students better understand credit, and benefits such as free quarterly access to FICO scores, we have the opportunity to help them do just that.”

Looking to Learn More
While the majority of college students express confidence in their current money management skills, 83 percent would like to learn more, especially about saving and budgeting. “Majoring in Money” also reveals college students would benefit from additional education around specific credit topics, including how interest accumulates and how repayment behavior and credit terms affect the cost of credit over time. In fact, when asked to answer multiple choice questions on those topics, only 31 percent answered all three questions correctly.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 17, 2016 – Today Course Hero, the leading educational technology platform for course-specific study resources and tutoring, unveiled its new Course Advice feature to make the platform an even more holistic learning community for students. This offering—in addition to the company’s study materials and 24/7 tutoring—further improves the community by sharing advice from students who have already “been there and studied that.”

Since soft launching the feature last fall, students from high schools and universities across the nation have shared more than 50,000 entires on how to succeed in specific classes.

“At Course Hero, we believe that a network of knowledge and experience propels everyone forward,” said Course Hero CEO and Co-founder Andrew Grauer. “Choosing the right classes, workload, and instructors whose teaching styles align with your learning style are critical to performing well, learning deeply, and staying on track to graduate. With the Course Advice feature, students can more accurately prepare for their semesters and get the most out of their education because we take a different approach – we focus on advice for how to excel in the course, not on the personality of the professor.”

The new Course Advice feature helps students master their classes by enabling them to share feedback on courses they’ve already taken and offer advice to help others study efficiently and learn deeply. In as little as 60 seconds, students answer a few questions about what they learned, how much time they spent studying, and what they did to succeed. With tags like “requires group work outside of class,” “go to office hours,” “participation counts,” and “great discussions,” students can plan more balanced semesters or get ahead of a tough workload even before their first day of class.

To see Course Hero’s advice feature in action, please visit the Course Advice page.

About Course Hero
Course Hero connects millions of students and educators to share their knowledge by asking and answering questions. Course Hero offers a suite of online educational resources, including crowdsourced study documents, expert tutors, customizable flashcards, and advice.

Contest Offers Scholarships and Travel Prizes to Students who Want to #GoStudyAbroad

NEW YORK, NY, March 17, 2016 – Do you want to study abroad? Or did you just get back from studying abroad, and want to inspire other students to take part in this amazing experience?  The Institute of International Education (IIE), Go Overseas and other leading study abroad and travel organizations are offering scholarships for those who want to study abroad, and travel prizes for those who nominate them. Enter online at GoOverseas.com/GenerationStudyAbroad.

Aside from being one of the most fun and exciting experiences you have in college, study abroad can also improve your career prospects. Studying abroad is one of the best ways you can acquire the international experience necessary to succeed in today’s global marketplace.

You can win a grand prize $10,000 scholarship to study anywhere in the world or one of three $5,000 study abroad scholarships when you sign up and enter to #GoStudyAbroad at GoOverseas.com/GenerationStudyAbroad.

For a chance to win, all you have to do is enter your contact information and explain in 250 characters – that’s shorter than two tweets – why you’d like to study abroad and how it’ll match your goals. The contest link is GoOverseas.com/GenerationStudyAbroad.

Study abroad takes planning, but it’s worth it. Less than 10% of U.S. students study abroad by the time they graduate from college. With 1 in 5 jobs linked to international trade and employers looking for global talent, more U.S. students must study abroad to broaden their perspectives, understand and tolerate different ways of life and succeed in today’s global workforce. College students who studied abroad are hired more quickly after graduation with higher starting salaries, more likely to land jobs in their fields, and less likely to be unemployed five years after graduation, according to several post-study abroad surveys and reports.

The contest is part of the nationwide #GoStudyAbroad campaign that IIE, Go Overseas and four leading study abroad and travel organizations launched today, which calls on alumni of study abroad programs to pay it forward by inspiring college students to consider and/ or commit to studying abroad by the time they graduate.

“I’m asking study abroad alumni to imagine how different their lives would be if they’d never studied abroad and then imagine the impact going abroad could have on a friend’s life if they convinced them to study overseas too,” said Dr. Allan E. Goodman, IIE’s President and CEO. “We need mentors, campus leaders, faculty and relatives, to inspire and motivate students to study abroad so that the next generation of Americans is prepared to thrive in our globalized world.”

In addition to inviting college students to enter the contest directly, IIE and campaign partners AIFS Study Abroad, CET Academic Programs, IFSA-Butler, and STA Travel are reaching out to their study abroad alumni networks to nominate students to #GoStudyAbroad. Alumni who nominate students to study abroad through GoOverseas.com/GenerationStudyAbroad can win prizes as well, including a grand prize roundtrip international flight, sponsored by IFSA-Butler. The more students someone nominates, the better the chances to win. #GoStudyAbroad is part of IIE’s Generation Study Abroad, a five-year initiative to double the number of students who study abroad by the end of the decade.

“Our mission at Go Overseas is to inspire as many students as possible to engage in study abroad programs with meaningful cultural exchange. We passionately live and breathe this mission on a daily basis,” said Mitch Gordon, Go Overseas’ CEO and Co-Founder. “In partnership with IIE, our goal is to connect as many of our 30,000 daily and 900,000 monthly visitors as possible with study abroad programs that will change their lives, and the lives of those with whom they interact.”

The contest runs until March 31, 2016.
