@rrobfarrington @realAJDavis @7OnYourSideNY @ABC7NY @Vanguard_Group Hi AJ, Robert said it well - they’re both great plans. We can help you get set up with Utah or you can connect an existing ScholarShare account. Happy to field any questions as you take a closer look; DMs are open or you can email [email protected] or call 844-SAVE-529. Thanks!

529 Plans - What are they and how they can help you save/pay for college https://t.co/Mr2AqrbAdt via @ABC7NY

Accessibility matters. Today, we’ve released our first Savings Scenarios report to demonstrate the ways modern Americans can save $15,000 in 18 years by teaming up and utilizing a 529, without anyone having to contribute more than $10 per month. https://t.co/JEM4rX97Ej

@Dra_m_a Hi Anne-Marie, thanks for pointing that out and messaging us! Just replied to your DM.

It's an honor to be the keynote speaker at this year's #529Conference. I spoke with @JillMalandrino on @Nasdaq #TradeTalks to share how social savings + #fintech will unlock a massive new audience for 529 plans and help avert the next student debt crisis.

“I realized that the ones who had heard of this plan were pretty overwhelmed by it and weren’t sure how to use it”, Lee said, adding he was familiar with fintech products and wondering why there was not a simpler way to start a 529 account. cc' @BackerTeam
