Frequently Asked Questions

College Cash is a financial empowerment app that helps students and their families build funds for education — one everyday purchase at a time. Students earn cashback rewards on purchases, complete financial literacy content, and unlock milestone rewards, while family members can contribute directly to their education fund.

Think of it as a long-term savings ecosystem built specifically for the cost of education.

When you make purchases through participating brands and partners in the College Cash app, a percentage of your spend is returned to your education fund as cashback. The more you shop through the app, the more your fund grows over time.

College Cash includes bite-sized financial literacy lessons and quizzes designed to help students build real money skills — budgeting, credit, saving, and more. Completing content can unlock milestone rewards and boost your fund balance.

We believe earning money and understanding money should go hand in hand.

Milestone rewards are bonuses you earn by hitting key achievements inside the app — like completing financial literacy modules, referring friends, or reaching savings benchmarks. They're designed to keep you motivated and accelerate your fund growth the longer you stay engaged.

College Cash is available on Android via Google Play. iPhone users can access College Cash as a Progressive Web App (PWA) through Safari — just visit the site and tap "Add to Home Screen" for a native app-like experience. A full native iOS app is in development.

Family members — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, anyone — can contribute directly to a student's College Cash education fund. Students can share their unique contribution link, making it easy for loved ones to give toward education for birthdays, holidays, or just because.

Yes. All funds in College Cash — including family contributions — are held at an FDIC-insured financial institution. Your money is protected the same way it would be in a traditional bank account.

Family contributions are intended to support the student's educational journey and are directed toward educational expenses. If a student requests account deletion and has an outstanding family contribution balance, deletion will be paused and our support team will reach out to resolve the balance before the account is closed.

If you have a specific question about a contribution, please contact us at contact@yourcollegecash.com.

No. College Cash funds are not withdrawable as personal cash. Disbursements are made directly to the student's educational institution or student loan servicer. This ensures that every dollar contributed and earned goes toward its intended purpose — reducing the cost of education.

Not at all. College Cash is built for any post-secondary educational path. Funds can be applied toward any accredited or qualifying educational expense, including:

• Four-year colleges and universities
• Community colleges
• Trade and vocational schools
• Online courses and certifications
• Job training programs
• Bootcamps and professional development

Yes. In fact, starting early is one of the best things a student can do. High school students can begin building their education fund through cashback rewards and family contributions years before they graduate — so by the time they're ready for their next step, they've already got a head start.
