Independent 529 Plan

Recognizing both the importance of higher education and the difficulty parents often face in paying tuition costs, private colleges and universities from across the country have joined together to offer Independent 529 Plan. It's a new way to pay for a child's future education costs.

Independent 529 Plan allows you to prepay tuition today that your child can later use at any member college. It provides a guarantee against tuition inflation, and the flexibility to choose from some of the nations' top colleges. Independent 529 Plan has no start-up fees, no maintenance fees, and no annual fees – and is free from federal taxes.
