Support of Multiple Pathways to Higher Education Access is Crucial to Virginians’ Future Success
In unprecedented times, when the pandemic shuttered many of the physical doors to educational institutions, altered students’ plans for their future and impacted families’ financial security, we all adapted to new challenges and uncertainty about what professional fulfillment will look like in the future.
As an independent state agency created more than 25 years ago to encourage and support education savings, Virginia529 was conceived with a commitment to make higher education more affordable and accessible for all Virginia families. We meet that challenge in many ways, including working with other state agencies to identify pathways and solutions to cover costs.
