start saving early and often
Don’t wait until the first year of high school to begin planning how to pay for college. If you have a set amount you are willing and able to provide for your child, start saving to reach that goal from day one. Start putting savings away as early as possible, even if it’s just a little bit – every dollar will help. You can open a Blue Bucks Kids’ Savings account for your child and make recurring transfers from your CapFed® checking account. This makes your savings strategy easy and automatic.More About Kids Savings
certificate of deposit for higher returns
Open a 12-month, variable rate CD, just for kids or use a laddering strategy with a range of short- to long-term CD rate options for a greater, ongoing return. Certificates of Deposit provide the security of FDIC insured savings with locked in, guaranteed rates. CDs can be a good option for long-term savings, like saving for college, because longer terms typically have higher interest rates.Open a CD Now CD Rates
