Congratulations to our Edvest 529 Youth Savings Account Scholarship Winner!

Recently, UW-Madison Extension visited local kindergarten classrooms to talk about the importance of saving for the future and setting goals.

One lucky student was selected to receive a $200 Edvest 529 Scholarship to help jump-start their education savings journey!

Did you know? Children with just $1-$499 saved for higher education are 3 times more likely to graduate from some form of post-secondary education.

A big thank you to our school partners, families, and Edvest 529 for helping children dream big and plan for their future.
