College Savings Plans

College Savings Plans, such as Section 529 Plans, are state-sponsored, tax-deferred savings plans that help families save for college.

  • Available to anyone—you can contribute to a Section 529 plan regardless of your annual income or your age up to specified plan limit.
  • Can benefit anyone—you can contribute for the benefit of a grandchild, niece or nephew, as well as your own child.
  • Savings are tax deferred, and qualified withdrawals are tax-free.
  • Generous tax benefits.

Types of College Savings Plans

Prepaid tuition plans
Your cash contributions buy a specific number of course units at today’s prices. If tuition increases, the state pays the difference between the number of credit hours you bought and current costs if the student attends an in-state school. If the student attends a private or out of state college, the plan typically pays the average in-state public college tuition.

529 education savings plans
If you’re not sure your child will attend a state school, this may be the plan for you. The 529 education savings plan gives you the opportunity to contribute to a tax-deferred account established for the student (known as the named beneficiary), and invested in a savings vehicle, such as stock or a mutual fund. The amount available for college depends on the amount you invest and the rate of growth—which may or may not be enough to cover school costs.
