Georgia Higher Education Savings Plan

Georgia’s Section 529 college savings plan allows employees to save money for costs associated with higher education. The plan provides significant tax advantages because earnings and withdrawals are exempt from federal and state taxes when used to pay for qualified education expenses. The savings can be used for undergraduate, post-graduate, technical, vocational, or other degrees at  nearly any college in the country (and at many foreign schools).
