Benefits for AFGE Members

When you join the union, you have access to these AFGE benefits. These benefits are backed by the collective strength of over 10-million members of AFL-CIO unions. By using one or two of the programs, many members save as much as their annual dues.

"I looked at three different online programs. One wouldn’t take my Community college credits for transfer. Another wanted $175 just to complete the evaluation. Grantham University worked with me and now I am a student in the criminal justice program"

Justin Lecavalier

"Between work and family commitments, I couldn’t find the time to attend traditional classes. Grantham’s online CJ program allows me to get my degree at my own pace."

Sean Mitchell
