At 529-Planning, we understand that higher education is an investment in one’s future, but we also recognize that the rising costs of tuition and related expenses can be overwhelming for many students and their families. That’s why our mission is to provide comprehensive and trustworthy information on higher education costs and financing options, ensuring that every individual has the resources they need to make informed decisions about their education and financial future.

We believe that education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances. By offering guidance on scholarships, grants, loans, and other funding sources, we aim to remove the barriers that prevent students from pursuing the education they desire. Additionally, we strive to keep up-to-date with the latest developments and trends in higher education, so that we can provide relevant and accurate information to our clients.

529 Plans: A Great Investment

A 529 plan is a savings plan designed to encourage saving for future higher education costs. 529 plans, also known as “qualified tuition plans,” are sponsored by states, state agencies, or educational institutions and grow tax free when used for higher education. When these federal and state tax benefits are taken into consideration, 529 plans are a fantastic way to save for college compared to alternative investments.
