With college costs rising faster than inflation, many students need assistance paying for their higher education. To help you save for this important goal, your employer, working alongside a financial advisor, is offering you a CollegeAmerica 529 plan as part of your benefits package.
With CollegeAmerica, you get some great benefits:
• Tax-advantaged investing — Earnings in a 529 account grow free from federal tax. This can help you accumulate more over the long term.
• Flexibility — You can use the assets in your account to fund expenses at any U.S. public or private college — undergraduate, graduate, professional or vocational. Qualified expenses include tuition, fees, room and board, and many more.
• Investing for any beneficiary — You can save for anyone — your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends, etc. You can even save for yourself. In addition, there are no age or income limits.
• Convenience of automatic investing — You easily invest on a regular basis through deductions from your personal bank account or payroll deductions (if available). For details, talk to your employer.
• Low plan costs — You never pay a sales commission, and you benefit from low operating expenses. That way more of your money goes toward pursuing your goal.
• Control over your account — Unlike other college funding vehicles, you always control the assets in a 529, even when your beneficiary reaches the age of enrollment.
