Envisioning Your Child's College Goal: College Savings Planner for Parents and Grandparents
Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education
Going to college and obtaining a college degree is an American dream. In 2006-2008, 27% of adults age 25 years or older had attained at least a bachelor's degree. This statistic would undoubtedly be higher if more potential college students had access to funds needed to cover college expenses. Lack of funds, steady overlapping college and general inflation, burden of a bank loan are primary reasons why most would-be college students do not pursue their college dreams. This College Savings Planner has been developed by the Arizona Commission for Postsecondary Education in order to help parents, grandparents, caregivers, and students themselves begin the college preparation process. By providing the opportunity to save, children and adults can have an increased likelihood to attend college and make their college goal... a reality.
