NEST Direct 529 College Savings Plan is a brand that offers educational savings options for families in Nebraska. Their flagship program, the Meadowlark Savings Pledge, provides eligible Nebraska newborns with a NEST savings account for future education expenses. With automatic enrollment and no extra costs or paperwork required, parents can effortlessly start saving for their child's education.

By contributing $50 to their child's Meadowlark account, parents can ensure a strong financial foundation for their education. The funds can be used at most Nebraska private and public two- or four-year technical, trade, vocational, graduate, or professional schools. Plus, NEST 529 allows parents to view their Meadowlark account balance alongside their own NEST 529 account.

Parents can easily opt out of the Meadowlark Program if they wish to do so. It's important to note that the program is exclusive to Nebraska residents born in the years 2020, 2021, or 2022. To get started, parents can open their own NEST 529 account and link their Meadowlark seed deposit to begin saving for their child's future education expenses.

Meadowlark funds are to be used solely for qualified higher education expenses at eligible educational institutions in Nebraska. NEST Direct 529 College Savings Plan provides a reliable and convenient way for parents to invest in their child's education, ensuring a brighter future
