VHEIP is excited to be part of the 4th annual Family Fun Day organized by the Burlington VT Moms Blog! The fun-filled day will be held at Sam Mazza’s Farm and Market in Colchester on August 20. VHEIP is a co-sponsor, and will be offering a drawing for $100 in a Vermont college savings account, so be sure to stop by! We’ll be easy to find–look for us at the face-painting booth, with Hyperfocus Art, which we’re sponsoring as our activity for the day.

Speaking of kids … we’re here to help families to think BIG while their children are small! By opening a college savings account — even with just $25 to start — you can create opportunities for your child’s future. Students from families who save even small amounts for education are three time more likely to go on to and complete college or other training after high school. And with VHEIP, Vermont taxpayers are eligible to get a Vermont state income tax credit on their contributions.

Get started now with Vermont’s 529 plan so you’ll be ready! And stay tuned to more events and opportunities by signing up for college planning information with VSAC. We’ll help you navigate the road ahead.
