Let’s explore the benefits and features of this remarkable program.
Investing with Confidence
Engaging in any investment requires careful consideration. That’s why New York’s 529 College Savings Program Direct Plan provides a comprehensive Disclosure Booklet and Tuition Savings Agreement. These documents contain vital information about investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and more. To obtain these documents, you can either download them or request a copy by calling 877-NYSAVES (877-697-2837). Take the time to read and review them thoroughly before making any decisions.
Seize State-specific Benefits
Did you know that your or your beneficiary’s home state might offer additional tax benefits for investing in their 529 plan? It’s true! Other benefits could include financial aid, scholarship funds, and even protection from creditors. We encourage you to investigate whether your state provides such benefits before making an investment. It’s essential to maximize all available opportunities to support your child’s future aspirations.

The Comptroller of the State of New York, along with the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation, serves as the Program Administrators. Their role is crucial in implementing and administering the Direct Plan. Rest assured, your child’s education is in capable hands.

No Guarantees, But Plenty of Opportunities
We want to emphasize that neither the State of New York, its agencies, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), The Vanguard Group, Inc., Ascensus Broker Dealer Services, LLC, nor any of their affiliates insures accounts or guarantees the principal deposited therein or any investment returns.
