Free Bachelors Degrees for Union Member
#1
I am not sure which unions are involved with this, but I saw this: 

https://bachelorsdegree.unionplus.org/about/ 

My teacher's union sent out the info about it, but I think it is available for anyone who has a union membership. There are a bunch of undergrad degrees that you can take advantage of.

I saw a reference to Eastern Gateway Community College for the Associates degree.  I didn't read far enough to see which school might grant the Bachelors.

Interesting indeed... I thought it would just be the "50 states", but seems to also include territories (doesn't mention which ones, I assume all of them)...
Anyways, they seem to have expanded their program to a couple of colleges for their Associates and a couple of universities for their Bachelors!

No Cost Bachelor’s Degree Program

The Free College program is offered by Union Plus to union members and their families in partnership with Paul Quinn College, Central State University, Franklin University, and Eastern Gateway Community College.  Designed for working adults, the program is committed to helping students earn an accredited, respected degree, with a flexible schedule, without piling on debt.  Launched in 2015, the program has helped more than 90,000 students in every state, territory and the District of Columbia continue on their education journey without paying a penny out of their own pocket.

It looks like they've been steadily expanding the program over the years. That's good to see. Maybe they'll be able to offer grad programs eventually.

Yes but I don't think working America gets you any of the college benefits. I tried a few years ago when the union college benefits were first mentioned. I could be wrong or things could have changed, though.
