by Michelle Saport |
The University of Alaska College Savings Plan joins state savings plans around the nation on May 29 (5/29) in celebrating 5/29 College Savings Day and the importance of saving for education expenses.
"Higher education is one of the best investments a person can make," said Lael Oldmixon, UA College Savings Plan director. "I encourage Alaska families to take some time on 5/29 College Savings Day to discuss college savings goals as a family and learn how a college savings plan can help make those goals a reality."
The UA College Savings Plan will host a series of 5/29 Day events. In Anchorage on May 16, plan staff will celebrate at the Reading Rendezvous event from 12-4 p.m. on the lawn at the Loussac Library. Additionally, the plan will give away a limited number of its popular T-shirts throughout May. To request a free shirt, visit the UA College Savings Plan's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ak529.
