Saving for College? Union Plus Can Help

Every dollar counts when you're sending a kid to college, and Union Plus wants to help.

The financial services center for union families is offering $500 college savings grants for union members who open a new 529 tax-free college savings or pre-paid tuition account between now and Nov. 30.

The grant is free money, meaning you don't need to repay it. To qualify, you must be a Union Plus credit card holder, or participate in Union Plus mortgage or insurance programs. Details are at www.UnionPlus.org/CollegeSavings.

Union Plus can also help if you've been laid off or are otherwise facing financial hardship. Learn how to apply for a SAFE (Security. Assistance. Financial Education) grant at www.UnionPlus.org/UnionSafe.
