Win-It Wednesday: $100 CollegeAdvantage Scholarships (3 Winners!)

by

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday, with 24-hour giveaways just for you!

It’s tax time! The April 15th deadline is fast approaching, and if you’re an Ohioan doing your taxes, you’ll want to take advantage of the CollegeAdvantage 529 Savings Plan. For the first time, this year Ohio residents can have all or a portion of their state tax refund directly into an existing CollegeAdvantage 529 Savings Plan when filing 2010 state taxes online. This makes saving for college for your children easy and hassle-free.

Features of the CollegeAdvantage 529 Savings Plan include:

  • Earnings are tax-free.
  • Deduct contributions from Ohio taxable income ($2,000 annually).
  • No enrollment or annual fee.
  • Use your funds at any college in the country.
  • Pay for tuition, room and board, or books.
  • Contribute as little as $25 at a time.
  • Transfer funds to another child.
  • Withdraw funds at any time.
  • Change investment options.
  • Benefit from professional money management by leading financial firms.
  • Save with FDIC-insured bank products.
  • Pay no enrollment fee, no maintenance fee and low administrative fees.

Three lucky Deal Seeking Mom readers will each win a $100 CollegeAdvantage scholarship to help boost your current account or create a new one! (NOTE: You do not need to be an Ohio resident to win this giveaway!)

    We don’t have 529 plan, but I wish we did now that our son is a senior. I’d love to win!

    after 20 years, we just paid off our student loans TODAY! so, since we are down to just our mortgage, we are ready to get going on college money for our three little ones and this would be a great start!

  7. deanna

    We do have an account! Our son is going into his senior year and the funds are now getting low, so hope I win!

    I’m expecting my first in August. What a great way to encourage me to start saving for his college.

    Yes, we do have 529 account set up for our 13 yo and 16 mo. We could always use a boost in these accounts. I have been a SAHM since June of last year. Money is always tight and an extra $100 now can grow alot over the next 17 years for Ryland.

    We don’t have CollegeAdvantage account for our child, but we definitely need to start thinking about something, because honestly, the savings is not saving. :) I’d put a sad face sign, but that’s just too depressing. So :) Thanks for the contest!

    Our 1st child will be attending College this August. I dont’ have college advantage account but have a PA529 plan. SInce College are not cheap, we applying for scholarship all over too. It would be nice if we win this to help cover the books and fees and get a good start!!!

    We not have any college savings for our kids. College Advantage sounds like the way to go.

    Don’t have one yet but we’ve been talking about setting one up since my oldest was 1yr old. This would be a great way of just doing it already!! Thanks for the chance :)
