"I have been very pleased with the service - especially the folks who answer the phone. They were professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful when I was getting the accounts set up and also the follow up in doing both a one time deposit as well as setting up the recurring deposits. Kudos to the staff!!"

"I was so excited to make my first payment for my daughter's college out of the fund last week. What a good feeling to know that her 4 years of college are covered and she won't have any debt."

-Glenn, New Mexico

"When my son turned 2, one of my friends made a contribution to the 529 instead of a present, I thought that was pretty darn cool. It’s really a great thing that was done for me and I’m doing for my friends/family’s kids."

-Daniel, New Mexico

"I'm saving for my granddaughter's educational future. She loves school and I want to invest in her passion. She makes me very proud!"

-Elaine, New Mexico

When our grandchildren attended college, my wife and I helped where we were able. Even with that help, debt piled up for them. Our granddaughter is now working on her masters and we are in a better position to help with her expenses through a 529 education savings plan so that she does not incur additional debt. We are determined that our great-grandchildren will not have such a burden on them when they decide to pursue a higher (and ever expensive) education.

-Roger, New Mexico

Please Note: Before you invest, consider whether your or the beneficiary’s home state offers any state tax or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in that state’s qualified tuition program. You also should consult a financial, tax, or other advisor to learn more about how state-based benefits (or any limitations) would apply to your specific circumstances. You also may wish to contact directly your home state’s 529 plan(s), or any other 529 plan, to learn more about those plan’s features, benefits and limitations. Keep in mind that state-based benefits should be one of many appropriately weighted factors to be considered when making an investment decision.
