Independent 529 Plan
The Independent 529 Plan is a national prepaid tuition plan for private and independent colleges. It was launched in fall 2003. The plan is offered by the Tuition Plan Consortium, a non-profit consortium of several hundred independent colleges and universities.
The funds are invested through TIAA-CREF, but the family gets the guarantee of prepaid tuition regardless of how the investments perform. When a student enrolls at a participating college, the college will provide the promised percentage of tuition and in exchange will receive the actual return on investment. In this plan, the colleges will bear both the risks and the potential rewards from the investments. The colleges also pay all the fees, so there are no fees to consumers. Participating colleges feel that this program will help them with recruitment.
