It takes a village to raise kids and saving for their education is no easy task. With Raise Education, you can invite friends and family to contribute to your future scholars. Power in numbers equals powerful numbers.
"I love how easy it is to contribute to my child's future! And the ability to share his link with family and friends so that they can contribute for birthday or holiday gifts is an awesome advantage!"
Kailey B., Mother of one
Free and fast forever
You can create your savings plan in less than 5 minutes and there is no minimum balance. We charge a 5% fee on contributions from friends and family, but you can contribute to your own plans completely free, forever.
"I love the ease of setting up the account and the flexibility of being able to provide a way for family and friends to add to my daughter's education. It so user friendly!"

Tax-free, compounding returns
Our platform is built on state-run 529 education savings plans - that means that all earnings on contributions are tax-free. All interest you earn gets reinvested, which nets even more interest. Dolla dolla bill, y'all.
"As parents, we have enough that keeps us up at night... now the last thing my wife and I have to think about is being able to afford our kids' future education. Matter of fact, we trust Raise Education so much that we NEVER think about it anymore."
Casey D., Father of two
100% FAFSA friendly
All Raise Education accounts play nicely with federal student aid programs - so feel free to double dip, maybe even add some sprinkles while you're at it.

Still have questions?
For those who need more convincing, take a gander...
Why can't I just go out and do this myself?
Go for it! Anyone can start a 529 college savings account in any state they choose. However, we think you'll find that doing it through Raise Education is a whole lot easier. Plus, we give you the added ability to share your child's profile with friends and family to let the savings multiply!
Is this an investment?
Yes - the way 529 accounts work is that they deploy your savings into an investment account, which is comprised of various assets in the stock market. Fear not, investment of Raise Education portfolios is done according to the your child's age, so when they're younger the portfolio is more aggressive, but gets more conservative once they get closer to going to college.
How do your competitors work?
Typically speaking, other solutions out there charge you a management fee (monthly or annual) to keep your account going. We don't really feel that's fair. The vast majority of our expenses occur when people contribute, so we feel that charging friends and family 5% to contribute is better-aligned with your financial interests.
What expenses can a 529 account cover?
If it's related to education, it's covered. You can even pay for expenses related to private K-12 schools. So, books, tuition, room and board - all good. Picking up a few beers on the way to a house party - yeah, don't even think about it.
What is "Scholar Raise"?
Pardon our dust! We've recently migrated our Scholar Raise college savings product over to Raise Education. This change allows us to better serve our customers under the Raise brand going forward. Some older marketing material, like our brand video, still has the Scholar Raise branding. This is purely cosmetic. It's the same product and the same team.
