Are you a parent or a grandparent of a child under 13 who lives in the State of Nevada?
If so, the State of Nevada Treasurer’s Office has a college savings program that matches contributions into an SSGA Upromise 529 college savings account dollar-for-dollar up to $300 per year for up to five years! That’s right, $1,500 in FREE MONEY for college over five years, per beneficiary!
