Part One: Where to Begin Chapter 1: Bunk to Bonanza From "college will cost $200,000 by the time your toddler starts," to "there are billions of dollars in scholarships that go unclaimed each year," college myths are likely to prompt you either to save too much or too little. Here's a dose of reality. Chapter 2: Setting the Stage How much should you save today for a future goal that could cost $10,000 or $100,000? This chapter gives you a reasonable way to estimate the unknown and some work sheets to help figure out how much your monthly savings will generate. Part Two: The Skinny on Saving, Investing, and Tax Incentives Chapter 3: Coverdell Education Savings Accounts They used to be called education IRAs. But in the summer of 2001, education IRAs were renamed Coverdell education savings accounts, revamped, and revised. That means they're better and more flexible than ever before. Chapter 4: 529 Plans The latest belle of the college savings ball is the 529 plan. The reason for its popularity: High-income parents can save vast amounts in these accounts and retain control over the assets. Chapter 5: Call Me Ugh-Ma Uniform Gift to Minors Act accounts (UGMAs) are yesterday's technology, but anyone who was responsible enough to start saving for college before Congress got so generous with all the new tax breaks probably has one. Armed with some knowledge of your options, you can still make good use of your UGMA. Chapter 6: Investing the College Dough Many people consider investing intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. The basics are as simple as fairy tales -and the rest can be delegated to a professional. Read on for everything you need to know in a nutshell. Chapter 7: IDAs: The Stealth Scholarship If you're a low-income worker who aims to return to college, individual development accounts are little-known savings plans that can match your contributions with money from federal, state, and private sources. Chapter 8: The Spendthrift Strategy Three loyalty-buying programs promise to rebate a portion of your purchases into college savings accounts for you, your child, friend, or relative. Check out how the programs work and how much they might pay. Chapter 9: Generous Relatives If you've got relatives who might want to kick money into your child's college coffers, here are a few thoughts on what to consider and how to get started. Chapter 10: Tax Breaks for College Congress members have been falling over each other to provide tax incentives for parents and others financing college costs. But the incentives are complicated and have lots of caveats. The run-down. Part Three: Zeroing in on Financial Aid, Loans, and Scholarships Chapter 11: Financial Aid Those who don't have quite enough saved are likely to need financial aid when they get to college. Aid comes in a variety of forms, such as scholarships, grants, and loans. It takes careful study and some planning to get the most out of your aid dollar. Chapter 12: Student Loans The vast majority of aid to college students now comes in the form of debt. That's the bad news. The good news is that interest rates are low, terms are good, and the economic rewards of higher education are likely to vastly compensate for the debt. Chapter 13: Private Scholarships Didn't get quite enough money from federal and state authorities? It just might be worth your while to seek private donors and foundations that provide scholarships to qualified students. Once you know where to look, it
