Helen Thompson School is sharing this information provided by the Finance Authority of Maine (FAME). FAME helps Maine families plan and pay for higher education. FAME also administers NextGen 529, Maine’s Section 529 plan that many Maine families use to save for college.
NextGen 529 is an investment account used to save for education after high school. NextGen 529 is for people of all ages—babies, kids, even adults saving for their own education!
FAME also offers matching grants to boost your savings-there are hundreds of dollars available each year!

Stop by her table to say hello, or if you have specific questions, you’d like to ask her about college saving/planning, use the following link to schedule a one-on-one appointment with her:
