Helping clients save for college
Saving for a child’s college education is a years-long endeavor that requires careful planning. This self-study course examines personal financial planning for college, a critical consideration affecting areas from cash flow planning to income taxation.
In this course, you’ll learn about the personal financial planner's role and the need to be knowledgeable about education funding vehicles, student financial aid programs, education tax credits, as well as income tax applications for education planning. Coordinating these disparate elements is necessary to accomplish a successful education plan.
A guide to education funding vehicles
There are many ways to save for a college education. You’ll get to know education-specific funding vehicles, including:
- Education Savings Bond Program
- Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) and Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA)

- Qualified Tuition Programs, including Section 529 plans
On the pulse of modern education funding strategies
Updated for recent changes to Section 529 and other education-specific plans brought by SECURE 2.0, this course delves into financial aid and other funding methods. The final part of this course examines how education planning is integrated with the other areas of personal financial planning.
