NextGen 529 Account

We speak to Maire Pelletier NextGen College Savings Counselor with Finance Authority Of Maine on how Maine residents can get matching grants for college if they open and contribute to a NextGen 529 account before the end of 2022. 

To get matching grants for 2022, open an account, if you don’t already have one, and make contributions before December 30 (yes-that’s the last business day in 2022). Allow time for mailing and processing-so don’t delay!

Families can learn more about NextGen 529 and get started on opening an account online at NextGenforME.com
