Use a 529 Plan to Offset Rising Education Costs
One of the most sound investments you can make to help pay for your child's higher education is by using a 529 plan. These funds grow in a tax-free environment, and generally have a 3-5% rate of return. The only catch is that all funds need to be used for higher education, and if not... there are monetary penalties imposed when withdrawn for other uses.
Alabama offers two 529 plans, the CollegeCounts 529 Fund and the CollegeCounts 529 Fund Advisor Plan. Each Alabama 529 plan is managed by Union Bank & Trust Company, which replaced prior manager Van Kampen during 2010. Both programs feature a menu of investment options utilizing funds from well-known fund companies. Alabama’s prepaid program (PACT) was closed to new enrollments in 2010.
| State Plan Name: | CollegeCounts 529 Plan |

| Minimum Contribution: | $0 |
| Maximum Contribution: | $400,000 in combined account balances for a single beneficiary; balances continue to accrue earnings once you hit that threshold. |
