529 College Savings

  • About the Program

    The 529 College Savings asset track will help parents with young children start saving toward the future cost of attending college. The parent will be required to open a MNSaves account and make the $25 opening deposit. More information can be found on 529 accounts at www.mnsaves.org. Funds in the 529 account are to be withdrawn for eligible education-related expenses. Withdrawing funds from the 529 account for non-education use will incur immediate penalties and have additional tax implications.

    Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.
