The Learning Quest 529 Education Savings Plan

Why open a 529 Account?

It's never too early to start saving for college. The earlier you invest, the better the chance your investment will grow over time. With a 529 account as part of your plan for college savings, you have a tax-advantaged investment option to help cover the ever-increasing costs of college, while potentially reducing reliance on student loans.

Funds may also be used at any qualified K-12 education institutions. Your child does NOT need to attend college in your home state.
