The longtime state operated fund used to help parents and students save for college is getting a new name. State Treasurer Roby Smith oversees the College Savings Iowa plan.
He says you will still be able to save money for K-12 tuition, or a two or four-year college, but there’s more to save for.
He says the name change reflects the changing ways people look at education after high school.
Smith says the plan itself is tailored to fit different stages of savings.
You can deduct contributions to the plan from your state income taxes, and there are other benefits as well.
