Four Pre-K students will get a jump on college | State

“We are proud to partner with the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning to promote financial planning for education through the Path from Pre-K to College Sweepstakes,” Georgia Student Finance Commission President Lynne Riley said in a news release. “This sweepstakes encourages families to focus on saving for education early. Saving regularly over time makes an impact, and this sweepstakes will help four Georgia families get a jump-start on their college savings.”

This is the seventh year DECAL and Path2College have partnered to raise awareness of saving for college through the Pre-k sweepstakes. More than $55,000 has been awarded to Georgia students and Pre-K facilities through the sweepstakes.

“DECAL is proud to continue working with Georgia’s Path2College 529 Plan to encourage families to begin preparing early for their children’s future,” DECAL Commissioner Amy M. Jacobs said. “DECAL helps lay a solid foundation for lifelong learning in children’s lives, and the Path2College 529 Plan helps ensure that students have the resources to pursue the college and career paths of their choice.”

Parents, legal guardians, or grandparents with children enrolled in a Georgia Pre-K Program classroom for the 2023-2024 school year may submit entries online through March 31….
