A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged savings plan to set aside funds toward future college expenses.
- College savings plans generally allow you to access your funds as needed. The student and/or parent must contact their plan administrator for instructions on accessing the funds. Processing dates and requirements vary between 529 providers.
Important
- The student name and ID must be included on the check memo line or electronic payment.
- Provide the correct address to the 529 administrator. Sending payment to the incorrect address may result in delivery delays or loss of payment which may result in late fees and account hold. Checks should not be mailed directly to the College.
