AZ529: Saving for College

My grandfather never got to finish school.
He had to drop out during elementary school to help earn money for his family;
that's just the way things were back then.

He worked so hard his whole life but wanted his children to have more.
He wanted them to go to college.
Being a rancher/farmer doesn't bring in heaps of money, but it taught his children the value of work.
Grandpa Nolen actually sold 2/3 of his ranch to pay for his children's college education.
Seven out of his eight children are college graduates.

Things are much easier today but the value of an education is just as important.
But where do you start?

AZ529.gov is the place.

The Arizona Family College Savings Program (529 Plan) is a Section 529 College Savings Plan sponsored by the State of Arizona through the Arizona Commission for Post-secondary Education. The 529 Plan is designed to help families meet the rising costs of a higher education. The Program offers an easy, flexible, and tax-advantaged way to save for college.

The fruits of a good education are felt for generations.
