HIGHER ONE HOLDINGS, INC 
By Grand prize video submission to receive $2,000 cash prize
NEW HAVEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2013-- Higher One, a leader in providing financial services and data analytics to more than 1,600 college and university campuses across the U.S., has opened submissions for its Money on My Mind contest, asking students to submit a video about their money management challenges and the strategies they implement to overcome the struggle of juggling school, work, family and life in general.
Up to ten winning videos will be chosen and featured on Higher One's One for Your Money website, with each featured video winner receiving a cash prize and the grand prize winner receiving $2,000.
To enter, Higher One invites students to submit a two-minute video via YouTube or Vimeo addressing the following questions:
- What is the number one major money management challenge you face or did face as a student juggling school, work, family, and/or life in general?
- What are some strategies you use to help you overcome these challenges?
- How does having a bank account, especially an online account, help you with managing your money?
- If you could offer one recommendation to a new college student about money management, what would it be?
"Our goal with Money on My Mind is to help students develop positive financial attitudes and behaviors through social engagement with their peers-which has proven very effective," said Mary Johnson, Financial Literacy and Student Aid Policy Director at Higher One. "Last year, over 150 video submissions were received from students across the country."
In addition to video submissions, students who submit comments on the One for Your Money site will be entered for a chance to win a $20 gift card. Winning submissions from last year's contest can be viewed on Higher One's Money on My Mind YouTube playlist.
