Education Planning

The cost of college is growing at rate faster than many other categories of American spending. This means that there's even more pressure on families to save for their children to reach the next stage in their lives.

How do college plans work?

Every family has a different opinion on how they want to support their children's future. Some wish to completely fund it, others may wish to partially fund it, and then some may wish for their kids to find their own direction.

​

However you plan to participate, college might be paid for with:

  • Education savings plans

  • Brokerage accounts

  • Scholarships

  • Loans

  • Grants

  • Work studies

Why should I care?

Costs of college are growing rapidly. In addition, many young parents underestimate their ability to save in their child's older years, causing them a shortfall of education savings.

​

While there are other ways to pay for college like financial aid and student loans, a well-designed college savings strategy can give families more control over children's futures.

What's in it for me?

Developing a college funding strategy early in your child or grandchild's life can:

  • Allow you to save less than if you waited longer

  • Leave more money for you to hit other financial goals

  • Prepare your kids for their next steps in life without them having to incur the burden of student loans

  • Bring you joy for providing a gift to someone you love
