Overview of the PA 529 College & Career Savings Program
PA 529 College and Career Savings Program accounts can help PA families steadily and strategically save for future educational expenses. PA 529 offers two ways to help families save while getting great tax benefits:
- PA 529 Guaranteed Savings Plan (GSP) allows you to save at today’s tuition rates to meet tomorrow’s tuition costs.
- PA 529 Investment Plan (IP) offers a number of investment options which range from conservative to aggressive, plus target enrollment date portfolios.
You can use PA 529 accounts to save and pay for a variety of education expenses at many career and technical schools, certain apprenticeship programs, two and four-year universities, and more.
PA 529 and PHEAA Discuss Options to Cover the Gap
Please join Suzanne Sparrow, Dan Wray, and Will McGinley of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA.org) and Jolene Miraglia of the Pennsylvania Treasury for this extremely informative webinar. Learn how to plan for financial success as you seek a postsecondary education with an extra emphasis on saving via a 529 plan. This webinar also briefly covers best practices (such as seeking grants and scholarships first), the primary methods of keeping school related debt to a minimum, and additional resources (such as school-based tuition payment plans). The webinar discusses private/alternative loans as a last resort.
