College Savings Plans

State-sponsored 529 plans are one of the most popular ways to save for college. 529 plans offer unique benefits – control over the account, earnings grow tax-deferred and some plans even allow friends and family to make contributions directly into your account.

Sallie Mae Bank provides repository services for the Utah Educational Savings Plan’s FDIC-insured accounts. For information about the Utah Educational Savings Plan, a 529 college savings program, please visit UESP.

Encouraging Responsible Borrowing

Sallie Mae has helped more than 34 million Americans pay for college since 1972. We encourage students and families to supplement their savings by exploring grants, scholarships, and federal and state student loans, and to consider the anticipated monthly payments on their total student loan debt and their expected future earnings before considering a private education loan.
