Georgia's Path2College 529 Plan Improvements Take Effect

ATLANTA ~ Atlanta - Governor Brian P. Kemp has announced two significant improvements to Georgia's Path2College 529 Plan, aimed at helping families save more effectively for future education expenses. These enhancements, which were signed into law by Governor Kemp in May, include an increase in the maximum account balance from $235,000 to $550,000 and a waiver of the state administrative fee by the Georgia Higher Education Savings Plan (GHESP) Board.

Governor Kemp emphasized the importance of these changes in ensuring that Georgia remains one of the top states for both quality and affordability of higher education. "By making it easier for parents to save for their child's college tuition, we are strengthening the future of our state and its economy," he stated.

The increase in the account balance limit will allow families to save more for education while also benefiting from the most affordable 529 plan in the country. Steve McCoy, Georgia's State Treasurer and administrator of the Path2College 529 Plan, expressed his support for these changes. "We are reinforcing our commitment to helping families meet their long-term education goals by increasing the account balance limit and waiving the state administrative fee," he said.
