Anyone opening a new ScholarShare 529 account between December 8-12 will receive a $50 Target Gift Card
ScholarShare 529, California’s official college savings plan, has a special offer designed to help California families save for college this holiday season: families who open a new ScholarShare 529 account between December 8-12 with $50 or more and set up recurring contributions of $25 or more for six consecutive months will receive a $50 Target Gift Card.
“Saving for college has never been more important, and opening a ScholarShare 529 account can be one of the greatest gifts you can give your child this holiday season,” said California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, Chair of the ScholarShare Investment Board. “This is a great opportunity for anyone who has been thinking of opening a college savings account to do so.”
ScholarShare 529 provides a powerful combination of benefits for college savers. The plan provides 100 percent tax-free growth, which can mean more money for college. In addition, ScholarShare 529’s low-cost investments can help savings grow faster, and the smart investment lineup provides options that mature as kids get closer to college. The popular Enrollment Year Investment Portfolios adjust asset allocation as a child’s enrollment year approaches.
In addition to the holiday offer, ScholarShare 529 offers account holders Ugift, a free, easy, and secure way for friends and family to make gift contributions to a ScholarShare 529 savings account, no matter the occasion.
