Luke Minor is the Director of WA529, Washington State's College Savings plans. The 2 programs, GET and the Dream Ahead college investment plan, are practical and great options for families planning future education, as these funds can be used anywhere in the country, at most educational institutions, including technical/trade schools, and even now cover special instruments, and in some cases, the balance of student loans. While starting early is good, it's just important to get started. This holiday season is a great way for family and friends to make contributions to a young person's account, providing a great gift and showing support for their future. www.wastate529.wa.gov or call to speak with someone: 1.800.955.2318  Learn more about your ad choices.
