Newborn Enrollment is OPEN!

It’s never too early to start planning for your child’s future college education. College costs are often the last thing parents and grandparents of newborns consider during the child’s first year. However, the earlier parents start a college-funding plan, the stronger their financial position will be at the time of their child’s college freshman orientation.

Parents can still enroll children 12 months of age and younger in the College Illinois! program at 2005-’06 prices through Aug. 1, 2006. Those prices will be lower than expected prices on 2006-’07 plans set to go into effect when the program’s general enrollment period re-opens in the fall.

Parents, grandparents, extended family members and friends can enroll children in the program through April 3, 2007.
