College is expensive. Whether you are at a trade school, a university, or a community college, the expenses add up. Have you thought about your child’s college future?
You may be thinking “well, I will worry about this when my children are older,” but before we know it our adorable, fun-spirited toddler turns into an independent, grown.
My husband and I have been putting money away for our children since before they were born. Once we found out we were pregnant with each child we would add what we could to a fund made out just for them, for their future.
Earlier this month I was invited to a very special dinner with the folks from ScholarShare. During our dinner we learned all that ScholarShare is doing to help us when it comes to paying that college tuition in the state of California.
With ScholarShare, it’s easy to give the gift of a college education to a child or loved one. Anyone can open an account as a gift and, through ScholarShare’s eGifting option, family and friends can make a contribution to an existing account.
After you’ve opened the account and made a contribution, you can download a “Gift of Education Certificate,” which is available in a holiday theme. The gift certificates can be framed, placed in a card or wrapped with a bow.
