💰 SMART529 Fund the Future Sweepstakes Opportunity 💰
The West Virginia State Treasurer’s Office (WVSTO) announced the Fund the Future Sweepstakes on April 1, 2025. One lucky West Virginia child will win a $15,000 SMART529 College Savings account. Children must be 17 years of age or younger to enter. Deadline is Friday, May 16, 2025. The entry form and official sweepstakes rules can be found at www.wvtreasury.gov/fundthefuture.
Research shows that children, with even a small amount of college savings, are 2.5 times more likely to graduate from college. We hope our sweepstakes inspires families to learn about the SMART529 College Savings Program and start planning for their child’s educational future. Funds saved in a SMART529 account aren’t just limited to paying for college – the funds can also be used for apprenticeship programs as well as vocational and trade schools across the United States and even some foreign institutions.
