The Oregon Baby Grad Program will provide a one-time contribution of $25 to families that open an Oregon College Savings Plan account by their child's first birthday. The child must be an Oregon resident. Under the Kinder Grad incentive program, when an Oregon College Savings Plan account is opened for an Oregon kindergartener who doesn't already have an account, $25 will automatically be deposited to the account within three months. The Oregon Scholars program allows the Oregon College Savings Plan to partner with state colleges and universities to offer incentives to Oregonians saving for education. Partnering universities reward savings by offering additional cost savings when attending their schools.

Oregon taxpayers are eligible to receive a state tax credit for contributions to accounts of up to $150 ($300 if filing jointly). The amount the taxpayer must contribute to get the full credit increases based on the taxpayer's income. The tax credit provides the same maximum credit to all Oregonians who are saving for college, community college, trade school, or any other post-secondary education.

The tax credit went into effect on January 1, 2020, replacing the state income tax deduction. The deduction was allowed for contributions to an Oregon 529 plan of up to $2,435 by an individual, and up to $4,865 by a married couple filing jointly in computing Oregon taxable income, with a four-year carry forward of excess contributions. For account owners taking advantage or planning to take advantage of the carry forward, this option remains available for contributions made through December 31, 2019. Account owners are able to carry forward the unused subtraction over the following four years. The new tax credit would be in addition to any carried forward deductions.
