AIG UNITED GUARANTY HELPS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS UNDERSTAND CREDIT
 
Credit Scoring Games Provided Free to Schools through DECA

GREENSBORO, NC — To help high school students learn the importance of using credit responsibly, AIG United Guaranty¹ is providing its credit score teaching game for free. Titled "The Big Score,^®" the game covers the history of credit scoring, the components of a consumer’s credit score, ways to improve a low credit score, and the meaning of credit score ranges.

The game, a $140 retail value, will be offered through a partnership with the National Association of Mortgage Brokers and Distributive Education Clubs of America Incorporated (DECA), a student organization that supports the development of marketing and management skills in career areas such as finance, business administration, sales and service, entrepreneurship, and hospitality. The game has been sent to 2,000 DECA clubs along the East Coast to be used as a component of credit scoring classes.

"Our goal is for students to understand how their individual behaviors can impact their financial futures," said Christine Hagan, assistant VP of Mortgage Industry Training. "The key is to teach financial responsibility before the students are offered credit cards, so they don’t dig themselves into a financial hole before they even enter the working world."

AIG United Guaranty’s Mortgage Industry Training Department offers one of the broadest selections of mortgage seminars, sales and personnel training, and industry-oriented courses available. A complete schedule of courses, including those available on CD, can be found at http://www.ugcorp.com/trainingopportunities.html.
