Edvest, Wisconsin’s official 529 college savings plan, is a simple way for families to save for higher education costs. Funds saved with Edvest can be used at colleges, universities, technical colleges, graduate schools and professional schools nationwide and abroad. When a child is ready for college, their Edvest funds can go with them. Employees who have Edvest as part of their benefits package (at no cost to their company) can contribute to their account via payroll direct deposit. With a variety of investment options, low plan fees, and tax benefits, including a state tax deduction for Wisconsin residents, Edvest is an excellent way to save for tuition, books, and other qualified higher education expenses.
