Rich Westman (from the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation) will be answering questions about Vermont’s 529 college savings plan at both Gilman and Lunenburg schools on Nov. 6:

• 9-11 AM at Gilman
• Noon-2 PM at Lunenburg

Parents, staff and students are invited to stop by to get a free piggy bank and talk to Rich about Vermont’s 529 education savings plan, created by the Vermont Legislature in 1999 to help make it easier for Vermont families to save for a college education. The Vermont Higher Education Investment Plan (VHEIP) enables families to open a tax-free account with a contribution of just $25 – and get a Vermont state income tax credit on annual contributions.
