PREPAID TUITION PROGRAM

One of the two major types of 529 plans. Prepaid tuition plans allow donors to provide all or part of the amount of tuition for college education. The amount paid is guaranteed to grow at the same rate as college tuition, regardless of its rate of growth over time. If the cost of tuition at a specific college doubles within three years, then the amount of prepaid tuition will pay a proportionate amount of tuition at the time of payment.
