Idaho 529 College Savings Plans

Consumer Plans

Consumer plans fall under three categories: direct-sold, unit-type prepaid, and contract-type prepaid.

529 plans allow investors to purchase directly from the plan manager. You will have to rely on your own research to identify your best options, or you can hire a fee-based financial planner.

Direct-sold 529 plans are approved and monitored by each state and are managed by professional investment firms. There are no sales charges with these plans.

Unit-type prepaid plans allow you to buy 'units' of tuition which may equate to credits or hours.

Contract-type prepaid plans can be purchased to cover between 1 to 5 years of future tuition either on a lump sum or installment basis.
