Bertrand Community School

Next week is our 1st "Apply to College/FAFSA Completion Week" and in keeping with the theme of college financing, we want to be sure all of our families are aware of Nebraska's state-managed education savings plan. NEST 529 is a flexible, tax-advantaged way for families to save for future education expenses. No matter the account owner’s comfort level and experience with investing, NEST 529 offers professionally managed options to fit everyone’s savings profile by offering a simple, yet robust, mix of investments that appeal to different types of savers.

Nebraska taxpayers can earn tax benefits for saving, including a potential Nebraska State Income Tax Deduction each year on contributions by the account owner of up to $10,0001.

Funds can be used for tuition, books, school equipment, and more.

Savings apply to a wide range of paths: four-year universities, community colleges, trade schools, and apprenticeships.

Family and friends can contribute to a student’s NEST 529 account for birthdays, holidays or any special occasion with the NEST 529 GiftED program.

Families can maximize their 2025 tax savings by opening and contributing to a NEST 529 account by December 31.

DID YOU KNOW YOU ALREADY HAVE $50.00 IN YOUR COLLEGE SAVINGS ACCOUNT???!!!

If a child was born in Nebraska on or after January 1, 2020, they’re automatically enrolled in the Meadowlark Program and have received a one-time $50 seed contribution to a state-managed NEST 529 account. The Meadowlark Savings Pledge is a great way to start thinking about how to plan for the future — but it’s just the start. Take the next step by opening a NEST 529 account so you can begin or continue saving for higher education.
