529 EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES THAT FIT YOU.

“Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
— Albert Einstein

The purpose of education should be to enrich your life and prepare you for the journey ahead—an experience rooted in discovering your strengths and exploring your passions. For some people, this is a traditional education; for others, that feels like swimming upstream. You may want an adventure that looks entirely different. 

Here at the 529 Advantage, we explore the latter by presenting myriad, non-traditional educational opportunities that will enrich your life and help you find your best self. Until now, most families have been under the assumption that 529s can only be used for traditional 4-year colleges and universities. In reality, 529 funds can be used for hundreds of additional programs that may be better suited for you, or towards gap year programs that will help you succeed in choosing the right major when you do attend a college or university.

You can apply your savings towards programs ranging from gap years, outdoor programs, trade schools, off-campus, vocational schools, and even scuba certifications. These options are not only applicable for college age students. High-school students can also receive concurrent college credit from a number of the programs!

In 23 years of consulting with families, teens, and young adults, about non-traditional educational opportunities, We have had the privilege of seeing transformative outcomes from this non-linear approach and how it can play out in students’ lives. The key is finding the right program for each student, based on his/her strengths and passions.

Let us help find a program that will challenge and inspire you, so that you can maximize your fullest potential!
