5 Ways to Celebrate your Graduate this 529 Day
May 4, 2021
It’s the month of May and spring is here! That means, at Achieve Montana, we mark upcoming May 29th as 529 Day! 529 Day celebrates the opportunities 529 plans offer graduates. A tax-advantaged savings program, 529 plans help you save for future college expenses. You can use the resources to pay for tuition, fees, books, and specified room and board costs at colleges, and vocational and trade schools. This 529 Day, we are honoring not just high school graduates but all children who have achieved an educational milestone.
Did your five-year-old finish kindergarten? Have a middle schooler about to leap into junior high? Of course, we cannot leave out those embarking on college journeys. No matter what age or stage your child is at, it was a challenging year, and we believe in celebrating moments, big and small. However you recognize your student’s achievements, signing up for an Achieve Montana college savings account is a great way to ensure their future.
