PREPAID PERSPECTIVES

Yet another reason to consider prepaid college tuition

College Illinois! is all about making college more affordable. I realize it sounds like a broken record, but when times are tough, allocating dollars to a 529 prepaid tuition program like us is one of the wisest financial moves you can make. Not only does it make sense to commit dollars to a college funding vehicle that is not reliant on the stock market, but consider another factor that makes navigating the choppy waters that is your child’s college funding account difficult: American colleges and universities lost 23 percent of their endowments last year.

What does this mean? Funding has dropped. Donations are declining. While many schools have avoided cutting financial aid, it is certainly being discussed. All in all, it makes for less and less dollars to go around that help students pay for college. By simply getting started in our program with a prepaid contract, you can skip reading the gloomy headlines and know that your child’s future is secure! Even if colleges cut financial aid while continuing to lose valuable endowment reserves, with a College Illinois! plan, you don’t have to worry about it! Your child’s tuition is already secure!

Take just a moment and at the very least, acquaint yourself with our many plans. We’re hopeful that one appeals to you.
