Getting into college can be stressful and expensive for students and their families. Now a new discount program from Union Plus enables union members and their children to afford the preparation needed to get an edge on college admissions.

Union Plus has joined with The Princeton Review to provide union members and their families “college readiness educational services” to prepare college-bound students for the SAT and ACT tests and graduate school hopefuls for law, medical, business and other exams.



With the new Union Plus college test preparation discount, union members can save 15 percent to 60 percent on college preparation classes provided by The Princeton Review. The courses will be delivered by The Princeton Review’s instructors and available to students via in-person or LiveOnline classes as well as individually self-paced online courses.

To help parents and students avoid costly mistakes as they navigate the college financial aid minefields, Union Plus offers union members a 50 percent discount on online college affordability and admissions courses.

The Princeton Review’s teachers also will help grad school hopefuls master the content and gain test-taking skills for the major grad school entrance exams at a 20-50 percent savings for union families.

Union Plus is part of the AFL-CIO’s Union Privilege, which provides consumer benefits for active and retired union members. To enroll in the college prep courses or to learn more, visit www.UnionPlus.org/CollegePrep or call 1-888-243-7737.

I wish they had offered this program when my kids were in college.
