The month of May celebrates 529 College Savings Day, and for the first time the Foundation hosted the Florida 529 Savings Plan Scholarship Program. Modeled after the Florida Prepaid Scholarship Program, Florida families had the opportunity to win a $529 contribution to a Florida 529 Savings Plan. The scholarship was aimed at educating families about the Florida 529 Savings Plan and enhancing financial literacy.
