“We always enjoy hearing about the positive impact saving for college has on students and their families, and we are hopeful that some of these amazing stories will inspire other families as they plan for their children’s educational futures,” said Mitch Seabaugh, director of the Path2College 529 Plan. “We are determined to increase the number of families who are aware of how a college savings plan can help their children attain their educational dream. This essay competition provides Georgians with an exciting opportunity to be creative and share their personal stories about the difference saving for college has made for them. It gives them a chance to inspire others and a chance to win even more for their savings.”
