Save here. Go anywhere.
The Arkansas College Savings Plans is the easy, affordable and smart way to save for your child’s education at nearly any college in the nation. Starting to save now is the best thing you can do to support their success in 5…10…or 18 years. We offer two plans that will help you accomplish your goals and help give your child a head start. Also, they’re the only 529 plans that offer an Arkansas State income tax deduction for Arkansas taxpayers. Very cool!
You can select the very easy and affordable Arkansas GIFT Plan, a direct-sold 529 Plan that offers a range of investment options and is accessible online at www.thegiftplan.com, by contacting the Arkansas Treasurer of State’s office, or by mail.
