Benefits
Virginia 529 College Savings Plan
The MAPGA is pleased to partner with Allan Strange and the Strange-Baber Group at Janney Montgomery Scott LLC to offer a lower expense version of the Virginia 529 College Savings Plan with no sales charges. This plan provides a state tax deduction on contributions and tax-free growth of investments. The money you save in the plan can then be withdrawn tax-free to pay for education expenses (tuition, room and board, and supplies like books and computers) at any school in the country where you could also apply for a student loan.
The American Funds Virginia College Savings Plan is already the largest state college savings plan in the country and consistently ranks in the top 5 of state college savings plans by Morningstar. Through the MAPGA, you can take advantage of this plan with lower investment expenses. To get started today, contact the Strange-Baber group at (804) 595-9360.
