How do I make contributions?

There are several convenient ways - and the sooner you start, the more time your money has to grow to help turn your children's college dreams into reality. If you're an Alaskan, you enjoy a unique opportunity: using your PFD.

Choose the way that's best for you to begin.

  • Invest regularly, using our Automatic Asset Builder or payroll deduction. A $50 contribution gets you started when you sign-up to contribute systematically.
  • Send a check or money order. The minimum contribution to get started is $250.
  • Use your PFD. Just check "yes" in the UA College Savings Plan box on the annual PFD application to contribute half automatically to a Plan Account. You can also contribute the second half, by check or automatic deduction from your checking account, when you receive your distribution in the fall.
  • Roll over funds from another plan, whether it's a different 529 plan or Coverdell ESA. Our specialists can walk you through the rollover process. (See the Rollovers Only form)
  • Make a Gift Contribution. Celebrate a holiday, birthday, or other special occasion by making a contribution to a loved one's account.

If you are not an Alaska resident, you should compare this Plan with any 529 college savings plan offered by your home state or your beneficiary's home state and consider, before investing, any state tax or other benefits that are only available for investments in the home state's plan. You can call 1-866-277-1005 or visit the forms section of our site to request a Plan Disclosure Document, which includes investment objectives, risks, fees, charges and expenses, and other information that you should read and consider carefully before investing.
