$10,000 in College Savings Deposits Available
Ten Parents to Win $1,000 Each in College Savings Deposits in Special Drawing
January 4, 2023
Registration is open for a special drawing of a $1,000 college savings deposit that 10 Iowa parents and guardians of students in eighth through 12th grades will be randomly selected to receive after February 28, 2023. The drawing is sponsored by ISL Education Lending.
Current registrants and any parent or guardian registered for the information service, SP3 or Student Planning Pointers for Parents, by February 28, 2023, will be entered into the special drawing. Additionally, registrants who read each month's articles and answer brief survey questions are entered into quarterly drawings for 529 college savings plan deposits. Each quarter, 40 random winners are chosen for the $250 deposits. The next quarterly drawing will take place April 1, 2023.
The free information service is delivered via twice-monthly emails to parents and guardians who sign up at www.IowaStudentLoan.org/SP3 and is provided in partnership with College Savings Iowa, ICAN, the Iowa School Counselor Association and Strada Education Network.
"I have found all of the emails … very helpful," said 2022 quarterly winner Kelly Loeffler of Keosauqua, Iowa. "They have answered questions that I didn't even know I had, as well as many that I did have." She continued, "I would recommend this wonderful service to any parent."
Articles are carefully researched and informed by 40 years of experience in the higher education industry. Additionally, parents and guardians are provided with multiple resources to further explore topics of particular interest.
The information is targeted to specific grade levels to correspond with students' current stages. The consistent format explains why the topic is important, what students can do now, additional steps they should take later and what parents can do. In addition, talking points are provided as a guideline for approaching the topic with students.
More information and simple signup is available at www.IowaStudentLoan.org/SP3.
