What Is A 529 Plan?

In this short video, Peg Keough from College Aid Pro explains what a 529 Plan is, how it works, and why it’s become one of the most effective ways for families to save for education.

A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged savings account designed specifically for education expenses—from college tuition to certain K–12 costs and more. And in recent years, these plans have become even more flexible, giving families more options and more peace of mind when saving for their children’s future.

Whether you’re just starting to plan or you’ve been setting money aside for years, understanding how a 529 fits into your overall financial strategy can make a meaningful difference. This video breaks it down in a clear, practical way—and shows why a 529 can be a powerful tool in a well-designed education funding plan.
