In celebration of 529 Day, State Treasurer Roby Smith began a new a social media campaign to raise awareness for the ISave 529 plan, and encourage families to take a step toward planning for their children's future by opening and contributing to ISave 529.

"Whether your child is still in diapers or already dreaming about higher education, 529 Day is a perfect reminder to start planning," said Treasurer Smith. "Now is the time to take a chance and invest in a ISave 529 plan. Even small contributions today can make a difference in tomorrow's tuition, books and other educational expenses."

According to an analysis conducted by the Congressional Research Service, it's estimated that the average debt for a Bachelor's degree in the 2020 budget year was $26,400. In a sixteen-year period, that attributed to an increase of nearly $10,000 in debt per borrower on average. Saving even $25 per biweekly pay period from birth to age 18 may result in more than $11,000 in contributions for the child with potential for growth to help pay for college.

Whether you're saving for college, trade school or future career training, an ISave529 account is a smart, flexible way to invest in your child's dreams. In addition to saving early, ISave 529 contributions are tax-deductible from Iowa income tax, up to $5,800 per beneficiary account in 2025, making it even more advantageous for tax time.
