The Pennsylvania 529 College and Career Savings Program offers two 529 plans – the PA 529 Guaranteed Savings Plan (GSP) and the PA 529 Investment Plan (IP) – and sponsors Keystone Scholars, a Children’s Savings Account program. The guarantee of the PA 529 Guaranteed Savings Plan is an obligation of the GSP Fund, not the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any state agency. Before investing in either PA 529 plan, please carefully read that plan’s disclosure statement (available at www.pa529.com or by calling 1-800-440-4000) to learn more about that plan, including investment objectives, risks, fees, and tax implications. Before you invest, consider whether your or the beneficiary’s home state offers any state tax or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in that state’s qualified tuition program.
