Education Saving

Save for your educational needs with a 529 plan.

A 529 Plan is a tax advantaged savings plan designed specifically for saving for future college expenses and they aren't just for typical 4-year schools. They are also good for eligible community colleges, qualifying vocational schools, trade schools, and apprenticeship programs, and k-12 tuition.1

Flexibility, Ease and Control

529 plans have a long list of benefits.

Tax Advantages you won't get in a bank savings account or a regular investment.

A 529 plan has the powerful benefit of tax-deferred growth. This means your savings grow without paying an annual tax on any gain and your account has the potential to grow faster than a bank savings account. A wide range of investment options can accelerate your college savings and some states also extend additional deductions or credits. You can also withdraw your money tax free if used for qualified education expenses.4
