College is expensive now, and in 18 years it will even cost more. That is why by starting now you may be able to save some money. Path 2 College is having a coloring contest for a college scholarship. This is a great way to let your child have fun, and maybe win some money for their future at the same time.
Parents looking
for ways to save for their children’s future higher education needs have
a chance this month to win some cash for that purpose.
Georgia’s
college savings program, Path2College 529 Plan, is holding a statewide
coloring sweepstakes for children in pre-kindergarten through
fifth-grade.
Plan
Director Mitch Seabaugh said students should color “Hootie the Wise Old
Owl” and complete the sentence, “When I graduate, I’m going to be a _,” for a chance to win money to put toward college.
Seabaugh
said the contest is open throughout September, which is also national
College Savings Month. Coloring sheets and official rules can be found
at www.Path2College529.com. Entries must be submitted by a parent or
legal guardian, postmarked by Sept. 30 and received by Oct. 5.
The
winner will be drawn at random in mid-October and will receive $1,529
as a college savings contribution, said Seabaugh. The winner’s school
also will receive $1,000.
The
Path2College 529 Plan offers college savings accounts to Georgia
families which are federal and state income tax-free. The program is
managed by TIAA-CREF Tuition Financing Inc. which is part of the New
York City-based TIAA-CREF financial services organization.
