Et cetera : From T-Ball to Tuition: Invest in Your Child’s Future with ISave 529

As Iowa ballfields fill with the sounds of summer cheers and the crack of bats, State Treasurer Roby Smith is encouraging Iowa families to think beyond the game and take a step toward a child's future by opening and investing in an ISave 529 account.

"Whether it's T-ball, soccer, softball or baseball, Iowa parents and families are out there rooting for their kids every day this summer," said Treasurer Smith. "That same dedication can help them hit a home run, or score a goal, when it comes to planning for future educational expenses. ISave 529 makes it easy to start saving."

ISave 529 is a tax-advantaged savings plan that helps families set aside money for future qualified educational expenses, including tuition, books and room and board. Whether a child decides to go to a four-year, two-year or a technical school, these funds can help them support their future goals.

An ISave 529 account can be opened with as little as $25, and anyone - parents, grandparents, even friends - can contribute. The plan offers a variety of investment options and is easy to manage through the online portal at ISave529.com or on your mobile device.
