The State of Kansas would like for us to help bring awareness to two of the educational savings programs that are offered through the State Treasurer's Office.
The first program is the LearningQuest 529 Educational Savings Program. With this program, families can save for their children's higher education expenses in a tax-advantages 529 investment account. In addition, the State of Kansas offers the K.I.D.S. Matching Grant program to families earning less than 200% of the federal poverty level, see the attached file for more details.
The second program is for high school students who are close to enrolling for college, it is called the Scholarshop. This is a search engine created by a partnership with Sallie Mae that offers students access to a database of 6 million different scholarships.
