Open a 529 Account

If you plan ahead, you can save like Sage!

My fellow Nevadans, we have a job to do! It is time we get real about saving for college, and Nevada has a ton of great plans to make paying for college easy; like Prepaid Tuition to lock in tomorrow's tuition at today's prices or 529 accounts that can be opened with just $15. Did you know, kids are 7 times more likely to attend college if they know there is a college savings account in their name to help pay for it?* If that's not simple, I don't know what is! Saving doesn’t just happen overnight, you know! Scroll down to see all of our Nevada plans.

Please Note: Before investing in any 529 plan, you should consider whether your or the beneficiary's home state offers a 529 plan that provides its taxpayers with favorable state tax and other benefits that are only available through investment in the home state's 529 plan. You also should consult your financial, tax, or other advisor to learn more about how state-based benefits (or any limitations) would apply to your specific circumstances. You also may wish to contact directly your home state's 529 plan(s), or any other 529 plan, to learn more about those plans' features, benefits and limitations. Keep in mind that state-based benefits should be one of many appropriately weighted factors to be considered when making an investment decision.

The Nevada Prepaid Tuition Program is not guaranteed by the state of Nevada. The Nevada College Savings Plans Board provides fiduciary oversight of the program.
