College Savings Plan
The DC College Savings Plan is a Section 529 plan created to help families prepare for the substantial cost of higher education. The plan offers special tax advantages that enable participants to maximize their savings potential.
The DC College Savings Plan is:
-
Convenient. Contribute by check, automatic deposit, or payroll deduction.
-
Affordable. Open an account with as little as $25 per month (through automatic deposit).
-
Tax-advantaged. You won't pay federal income tax on the money you save in the Plan or on withdrawals for qualified expenses like tuition or room and board. And DC residents get special tax benefits; they can deduct up to $4,000 per year in Plan contributions.
-
Socially responsible. The DC College Savings Plan is the only 529 plan in the country to offer a full range of sustainable and responsible investments (SRI), so you can invest in companies that are committed to corporate social responsibility.
