Treasurer Smith Celebrates College Savings Month with Statewide ISave 529 Contest

State Treasurer Roby Smith is celebrating College Savings Month this September with a statewide giveaway! Five Iowa students will each win a $1,000 contribution to an ISave 529 account, and each winner will choose a K-12 school to receive an additional $1,000 donation.

"Whether you're a parent, grandparent, guardian, the fun aunt or the cool neighbor - anyone can register a child to try and jump-start saving for their future educational expenses," said Treasurer Smith. "Iowans from Larchwood to Keokuk and everywhere in-between should visit Iowa529Contest.com throughout the month of September and register a child in their life. The winners won't just make a difference in that child's life, but will also help out a school of their choice in the process."

Iowans can register to win a $1,000 ISave 529 contribution and $1,000 to a K-12 school now through September 30 at Iowa529Contest.com. It takes about 60 seconds to register and give a child in your life the gift of education.
