#CollegeforAll #ScholarShare529MGP AD

As the official college savings plan of California, ScholarShare 529’s new college savings program will offer a dollar-for-dollar match contribution of up to $200 on new accounts helping low- and moderate-income California families jump start their savings for college. Plus families that establish a monthly automatic contribution plan of $25 or more are eligible for a $25 bonus. Starts Jan 1, 2018.

Eligibility:
Parents/guardians must be California residents at enrollment,
have a valid social security number or a federal tax ID number, and
have an adjusted gross annual income of $75,000 or less.
Research shows that children with savings accounts, however small, are seven times more likely to attend and graduate college. To give California families an opportunity to pursue higher education and a bright future, ScholarShare529 will encourage families to open 529 accounts as part of the new Matching Grant Program. The program offers flexibility as the funds can be used at any accredited higher-education program, including community colleges and trade schools, as well as other approved educational expenses. And, the savings in a ScholarShare 529 account will not impact eligibility for most state benefits, such as CalWORKS and CalFresh. ScholarShare 529 is working closely with community based organizations (CBOs) across the state, including California Asset Building Coalition, Closing the Women’s Wealth Gap Initiative, Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs, United Ways of California and EARN, to ensure that eligible families receive the news about the Matching Grant Program and take advantage of this new incentive to save for college.
