DES MOINES – In honor of September being observed as College Savings Month, Iowa State Treasurer Roby Smith has announced a statewide giveaway through the ISave 529 accounts.
His office said five Iowa students will each win a $1,000 contribution to an ISave 529 account. Each winner will choose a K-12 school to receive an additional $1,000 donation.
“Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, guardian, the fun aunt or the cool neighbor – anyone can register a child to try and jump-start saving for their future educational expenses,” Mr. Smith of Davenport said in the release. “Iowans from Larchwood to Keokuk and everywhere in-between should visit Iowa529Contest.com throughout the month of September and register a child in their life. The winners won’t just make a difference in that child’s life, but will also help out a school of their choice in the process.”
Iowans can register to win now through Tuesday, Sept. 30, at Iowa529Contest.com. It takes about 60 seconds to register and give a child in your life the gift of education.
