Introduced in 2009, "How America Saves for College" is Sallie Mae's national study conducted by Ipsos that surveys American parents with children under the age of 18 about how they are preparing financially for college. The 2018 study is the seventh in the series. This primary research captures data on parents' saving-for-college behaviors and habits, their attitudes and feelings about saving, planning, and paying for college, and how much they have saved. Ipsos conducted online interviews with 2,003 parents between January 18, 2018, and February 15, 2018. Parents were asked to report the total amount saved for college and the amount they had saved during the last year. This report includes a full set of response tables associated with each itemized question.
