Education Savings
Saving for College 101
Here’s a crash course on saving for college.
There’s no denying the benefits of an education: the ability to compete in today’s job market, increased earning power, and expanded horizons. But these advantages come at a price. And yet, year after year, thousands of students graduate from college. So, how do they do it?
Whether they want to grow up to be a farmer or a firefighter, as parents and grandparents we want to support them and their dreams, as best we can. This journey begins with savings.
At Truliant Financial Advisors, we can help you create an impact that can last generations.
During this process, we will:
- Discuss the different education savings plans available, along with the associated costs and benefits for each one, including:
- 529 Plans
- Coverdell Education Savings Accounts
- UGMA & UTMA Custodial Accounts for Minors
- Answer frequently asked questions such as:
- Can a 529 plan affect my grandchild's chance of receiving Financial Aid?
- Can I access the money in the event of an emergency?
- Will Medicaid count my grandchild's 529 plan as a part of my assets?
