Don't miss out on $1,529 for college! The NC 529 giveaway ends at midnight

The College Foundation of North Carolina is giving away money, really!

GREENSBORO, N.C. — This is it! You have until midnight May 31, 2023, to win $1,529 dollars toward money for college. It's the College Foundation of North Carolina's Future So Bright 5-29 giveaway.

This giveaway is open to anyone who has a current NC 529 savings plan and anyone who creates a new savings plan. You can do that right now.

WHAT IS A 529 SAVINGS PLAN?

It's a tax-advantaged savings plan you can use for college expenses and k-12 tuition. By tax-advantaged, it means when you take the money out to pay for school, you won't pay taxes on it as income.

A 529 can be started for your child, your grandchild, yourself, or any other future student.

Again, you have a midnight deadline to register your current account or create a new account and register for the giveaway.

DON'T MISS THIS, BECAUSE YOU COULD GET EXTRA ENTRIES!

You can get extra entries if you activate your gifting link.
