Union Plus
What are some of the benefits of AFT Membership that most people don't know about?
Member Benefits
Union membership = Free College
Thanks to your union, nearly 100,000 students have used the Free College benefit to earn a degree with no out-of-pocket cost. For many, they wouldn't have attended college without their union.
If they can do it, you can do it too. Join your fellow union members and earn an Associate Degree or a Bachelor's Degree online for free.
Student Debt forgiveness
Student Debt Clinics
www.aft.org/debtclinic
As a union, we are fighting to make college affordable to student debt manageable. We maintain www.forgivemystudentdebt.org as a resource for members who need to learn the language of free and underused federal programs that help many student loan borrowers lower their monthly payments, and in some cases, even have their debt forgiven.
