Give the gift of education this holiday season

The holiday season will soon be upon us, and you may already be wondering what would make the perfect gift. Perhaps this year you would like to avoid adding one more toy to the pile, or one more video game to the stack.

Consider, instead, giving the gift of education. my529, Utah’s educational savings plan, has been helping families save for the costs of higher education for more than 25 years. Find out more information about the plan and how to enroll at my529.org.

Contributions to a my529 account create an impact that lasts beyond the life of a new toy or game. They help a beneficiary achieve their educational goals and reach their dreams for the future.

To make giving stress-free for your family and friends, consider signing up for my529’s Gift Program. This program allows your loved ones to send a meaningful gift with only a few clicks, and they won’t even need to scramble to find the wrapping paper and tape.

Giving to a 529 account doesn’t need to be reserved only for the holidays. It’s a great way to recognize other occasions like birthdays, graduations, milestones or just because. Signing up takes only minutes, and makes gift-giving a breeze.

Find out more information about the gift program here. Easy-to-follow instructions allow you to get your account set up for gifting right away.

You can’t go wrong giving the gift of education this holiday season.
