 Thank you to all our partners for the hard work to make Iowa Jump$tart a success in 2023! This was a year of changes, new faces, and a great conference, and we couldn’t have the successes without our volunteer partners. Thank you so much for your time and energy!
 This holiday season, the College Savings Iowa 529 plan is helping two families give a gift that lasts with a $5,290 account contribution. Register at Iowa529Contest.com before the giveaway ends Sunday, December 31. With easy-to-understand investments, flexibility and tax advantages, College Savings Iowa is the perfect gift for any child, with any dream.
Attend one of our weekly webinars or visit CollegeSavingsIowa.com to learn more about College Savings Iowa, and pass this information along to those you feel could benefit.
A big change in the process is that you CANNOT setup your FSA ID username and password at the same time you file the FAFSA. It is now required that your FSA ID username and password be verified before you can use it to file the FAFSA. It can take up to five days to verify an FSA ID. You must setup an FSA ID username and password for each student filing the form and a parent. Do this at least five days prior to the date you want to file your FAFSA.
