Since 2001, NASFAA has annually updated and published a Summary Chart offering basic information on the various state-sponsored savings and prepaid tuition plans. As resources and news continue to expand on these programs, we recognize that a real-time reference page is more useful and efficient for NASFAA members. As a result, we are pleased to present this resource page for your use. We welcome your comments or questions at govtaffairs@NASFAA.org.
