What plan options are available for you?

A 529 Education savings Plan is a tax-advantaged way to invest for future education expenses. A 529 plan is a state-sponsored plan that offers investment accounts designed to encourage savings for a designated beneficiary’s future education expenses.

It's never too early—or too late—to save for your child's education. A USAA 529 Education Savings Plan allows you to maintain control while providing flexibility and potential tax-advantaged growth of your contributions.

Age Based (managed for you)

This plan starts off as a more aggressive investment strategy and becomes more conservative as you get closer to the time when you will spend your savings. This is a low maintanance option that can be ideal for younger beneficiaries.

Fixed Allocation (managed by you)

The fixed allocation option allows you to take a more active role in your investment. Select one or more portfolios based on the investment mix you desire. You can update your investment opportunities up to twice a year.
