529 Day

May 29 is recognized annually as National 529 College Savings Plan Day. During the month of May, 529 plans across the country celebrate with virtual events to raise awareness and plan for the cost of higher education.

Saving for college is one of the most important financial goals for many people. If you’re already putting enough away toward your retirement, start saving for your child’s future college education as soon as you can. Small contributions add up over time. The Michigan Education Savings Program (MESP) can help you get started. Visit the MESP website to learn more.

In celebration of 529 Day, get up to a $100 head start on your college savings when you open a new MESP account between May 22, 2023 and May 31, 2023! Learn more about the promotion
