What is College Gifting?
College gifting is simply giving a gift of education savings for the holidays or another special event. Contributing to a child's college savings account is an easy and powerful way as a gift giver to make a lasting impact on a child's life. Your gift can grow as the child gets closer to college age, and can help reduce the amount needed to borrow for college costs.
