Saving for college and educational expenses can be a daunting task with many factors included in the equation. However, creating a savings plan doesn’t have to be complex.

In partnership with CollegeInvest, Employee Services provides University of Colorado faculty and staff the tools to succeed with Colorado’s 529 College Savings Program. A 529 savings plan allows you to use tax-advantaged savings plans specifically codified for higher education, whether that be for you, your children or even your grandchildren.
