Use your funds at any college in the country.
You can use your CollegeAdvantage account at any accredited college in the country to pay for tuition fees, room and board, books and other qualified college expenses.


Control the account yourself.
Transfer money, change beneficiaries, withdraw funds or reallocate your investments. If a child decides not to attend college, you can defer use of the account, change the beneficiary or withdraw the funds. Certain changes may result in tax consequences. Please refer to the Offering Statement and Participation Agreement or consult a tax advisor.


Contribute as little as $25 at a time.
Start small and increase your contributions as you wish, based on what you can afford. Anyone can contribute: parents, grandparents and other relatives, even friends. (Fifth Third 529 certificates of deposit require a $500 minimum investment.)

Contribute automatically through your bank account or payroll deduction.
You can make regular automatic contributions from a checking or savings account with electronic funds transfer (EFT) or from your paycheck with payroll deduction.


Create your own portfolio by choosing your own investments.
Choose from a variety of options managed by Vanguard, Fifth Third Bank, PIMCO, OppenheimerFunds and GE Asset Management.
