VSAC, the state sponsor of VHEIP, is excited to be joining in to celebrate Financial Literacy Month in Vermont on Thursday, April 6, at the Statehouse. Treasurer Beth Pearce will host the annual Financial Literacy Awards ceremony in Montpelier to recognize student achievement, including the Reading is an Investment program and Be Money Wi$e poster contest. Over 2,000 young readers completed the program and 20 lucky winners’ names will be drawn to receive $250 in a VHEIP college savings account!

Governor Scott will be on hand, too, to proclaim April as Vermont’s Financial Literacy Month. Find out more at http://www.vermonttreasurer.gov/content/financial-literacy/

Learn about the benefits, including the Vermont state income tax credit, that VHEIP offers to Vermont families as they save for their children’s college education. Even small contributions — starting with just $25 — make a big difference in education opportunities for your children’s future.
