States’ 529 Campaign Launch News
On March 4, 27 states launched the first-ever national 529 awareness campaign. Dubbed the “For Their Future Movement,” the campaign involves a total of 46 partners including state treasurers, higher education agencies, financial service firms and other state officials. The partners aim to make “529” synonymous with “college savings,” just as “401(k)” is synonymous with “retirement.”
