Pledge to Save

Why Take the Pledge?

Research has shown that children with savings of just $500 are three times more likely to attend and four times more likely to graduate college. Starting an educational savings count can help a child know that you believe in them and empower them to dream big. You can help them achieve their dreams and graduate with less debt by starting to save today. We’ll support you with reminders to contribute, helpful saving advice and more.

The Cost of Higher Education

Saving for college starts with understanding the true cost of a post‐secondary education. College expenses grow every year and include more than just tuition. Over the last 10 years, published in‐state tuition and fees at public four‐year universities increased at an average rate of 2.2% beyond inflation, according to the College Board.

For more information about The Education Plan, call 1.877.337.5268 or view the Plan Description and Participation Agreement, which includes investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and other important information; read and consider it carefully before investing.

Please Note: Before you invest, consider whether your or the beneficiary’s home state offers any state tax or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in that state’s qualified tuition program. You also should consult a financial, tax, or other advisor to learn more about how state-based benefits (or any limitations) would apply to your specific circumstances. You also may wish to contact directly your home state’s 529 plan(s), or any other 529 plan, to learn more about those plan’s features, benefits and limitations. Keep in mind that state-based benefits should be one of many appropriately weighted factors to be considered when making an investment decision.
