College Planning Center

		Credit Education for Students The children are off to college. Do they have everything they need for home away from home? If you educate your children in advance, you will help them act responsibly when they do receive a credit card. Encourage them to pay all bills on time, record transactions and don't let anyone borrow their card. Consider the Union Plus College Card for financial support geared toward students. Learn more about the Union Plus Credit Cards.
