How much should you have saved for your child's college education by now?

For many parents, a child’s college education is one of the biggest long-term savings goals. Alaska 529 has partnered with our program manager, T. Rowe Price, to bring you savings benchmarks and strategies for college savings by ages 5, 10, 13, or 18 in this informative article.

Here are some key insights from the article:

• College is expensive, but parents have powerful tools to help them save, including 529 plans.
• Savings benchmarks can help parents gauge whether their college savings strategy remains on track from year to year.
• Parents should aim to save enough to cover 50% of the published cost of college—but that number can be adjusted based on their situation.
