Building Hope for Bright Futures
In 2020, 60% of jobs required education beyond high school. Yet only 12% of Indiana youth are saving for post-secondary education with a CollegeChoice 529 account. Promise creates a culture of student success and builds hope for the future.
Building Future Stories
Low-and moderate-income youth with a Career Savings Account, with a balance of just $1-$499 are 3 times more likely to attend some post-high school training and 4 times more likely to graduate. We are making a difference by establishing a child’s “future story” at an early age.
Qualified Educational Expenses
The DeKalb County Community Promise funds are intended for qualified post-high school training and educational expenses, and not for K-12 private school tuition.
