Make their studies easy, and your shopping easier

Picking out the perfect technology gift for the college student in your life can be a challenge.

Which tech brand is best for their interests? Would they prefer an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X for game development, or a Mac mini for collaborative design sessions on the go? How about the best software to help them build their skills? Do they need the entire Adobe Creative Suite or just Fresco? Have the expert (your student!) be your guide and allow them to pick out exactly what they need most this holiday season.

my529 has made it easier than ever to let your college student shop for what they need with the new my529 Access Discover® Prepaid Card. It allows my529 account owners and beneficiaries a convenient and secure way to use money withdrawn from their my529 account to pay for qualified education expenses, including computers, computer software, peripheral equipment and internet access.

Give up the guesswork and apply for a my529 Access Card. Once you are approved, you can request a my529 Access Card for your student. Load it with funds they can use to purchase school necessities that are qualified education expenses. Each card transaction will appear on the Card Services monthly statement, making the my529 Access Card a central place to track qualified education expenses.
