Actual Costs Projected Costs

This most recent inflation figure was down slightly from the 2.9 percent in 2018 and 3.4 percent in 2017, but still underscores the rising costs of sending your children to higher education.
These rising costs are hitting closer to home in North Carolina as well. North Carolina's' higher education costs rose by 45.9% in just the last 10 years, ranking as the 14th highest state.

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 there are monetary penalties imposed when withdrawn for other uses.
The National College Savings Program has simplified its 529 investment menu in recent years and now offers age-based and static portfolios using Vanguard funds, a fixed-income option managed by the state treasurer, and a federally-insured deposit account with the State Employees’ Credit Union.
| State Plan Name: | College Foundation of North Carolina |
|---|---|
| Minimum Contribution: | $25 |
| Maximum Contribution: | up to $450,000 per beneficiary |
| Fees: | 0.25% annual administrative fee, calculated based on the portion of an account's daily balance invested in the investment option(s) chosen and deducted directly from investor’s account. |
