Utah Saves Week
Preparing today for their tomorrow
my529 supports Utah Saves Week. As Utah’s official nonprofit 529 educational savings plan, my529 offers a variety of options and methods to work toward your savings goals.
Never too early
It’s never too early to start setting money aside for higher education. The earlier you make a habit of saving, the more opportunity your account has to grow.
