The beauty of starting early to save for you child’s education after high school is that putting aside even a few dollars whenever you can really helps! And, over time, any money saved could grow whether it’s through interest or investment. Get started today!

Families interested in making their own investment in their child’s future education should consider opening their own account. There are numerous college savings plans available to families and each family can select a plan that is best suited for them. If a family wants to make their own contribution to their child’s future education through the NextGen 529 plan, they need to open their own account. If they choose to open a NextGen 529 account, Maine’s Section 529 plan, then they can receive statements which show both the Alfond Grant and any family contributions. For more information about Maine’s section 529 plan, visit NextGenForME.com.
