A Financial Guide for Every High School Graduate from CCB

Graduation season is almost here, and whether your student is headed to a college campus, entering a trade or technical program, or stepping directly into the workforce, it’s a milestone worth celebrating—and planning for. At CCB, we recognize that each graduate’s journey is unique, but no matter the path, one thing remains the same: a strong financial foundation will help set them up for long-term success.

Planning for the Next Chapter—Whatever It May Be

For future college students: Tuition, textbooks, housing, and everyday expenses can add up quickly. Starting a dedicated savings account now can make a big difference. CCB’s Advantage Savings account is a great option to help students and families prepare for college expenses while earning interest and building smart saving habits.

For those entering trade or technical schools: These programs are often shorter and more affordable than traditional four-year colleges, but still require planning for tools, materials, certifications, and transportation. A dedicated savings plan—paired with a CCB Advantage Checking account for managing payments—can help smooth the path toward a successful career.

For graduates joining the workforce: Starting a job right out of high school is an important step toward independence. Learning to manage income, set goals, and grow savings is key. We recommend opening both a CCB Advantage Checking and Savings account to help manage paychecks and build toward future goals like purchasing a car or renting an apartment.
