Why a ScholarShare 529 account?
Your child has options
Savings can be used for any eligible college or university both in the U.S. and abroad, as well as graduate school, vocational schools and post-graduate programs.
You enjoy more flexibility
Funds are transferable to other family members: siblings, stepchildren, cousins—even you can be eligible.
Your plan is financial aid-friendly
Typically your 529 is viewed as a parental asset rather than your child's asset—which means they often count less against financial aid eligibility.2
You have more control
Your savings will always be yours, and you're never locked in. You can withdraw your funds for any reason at any time.3
