Digital gift cards available to contribute to PA 529 accounts<\/em><\/p>\n

Harrisburg, PA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity wants Pennsylvanians looking for a last-minute gift for a child in their life to know that the gift of education is a perfect option this year, and Treasury has gift cards available to make gift-giving even easier.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy offering digital gift cards for the PA 529 College and Career Savings Program, it\u2019s easier than ever to make a meaningful contribution to a child\u2019s future education,\u201d Treasurer Garrity said. \u201cGift cards can be given to anyone with the extra convenience of not having to ask family and friends for information about their PA 529 account.\u201d<\/p>\n

To make a gift for a child\u2019s PA 529 account, visit\u00a0pa529.com\/gift<\/a>. Here you can find details on how to purchase a PA 529 gift card or make a Ugift contribution with a child\u2019s code you can get from the PA 529 account owner.<\/p>\n

The PA 529 College and Career Savings Program<\/a>\u00a0allows families to steadily and strategically save in a tax-advantaged account for qualifying educational expenses no matter what career path a child may take. Saving with PA 529 does not impact a student\u2019s eligibility for PA state financial aid.<\/p>\n

There are two PA 529 plans to choose from, including the\u00a0PA 529 Guaranteed Savings Plan<\/a>\u00a0which allows families to save at today\u2019s tuition rates to meet tomorrow\u2019s tuition costs and the Morningstar Gold-Rated\u00a0PA 529 Investment Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Families with children born in 2019 and after can claim their $100 scholarship from\u00a0Keystone Scholars<\/a>. The program is available to every child born to or adopted by Pennsylvania families. Keystone Scholars families are encouraged to open their own companion PA 529 account to continue saving on their own. Visit\u00a0pa529.com\/keystone<\/a>\u00a0to claim your child\u2019s Keystone Scholars account.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
