OneMain Financial is now offering a financial course called 'Credit Worthy' across several high schools across the country, along with some scholarships.

"Over half of high school students graduate without knowing the basics about credit," Schulman said. "It really helps establish a great foundation to being an independent adult, to have a healthy and happy life, and some financial security is part of that."
