Missouri State Treasurer Clint Zweifel stopped in at Carden Park Elementary School Friday afternoon to talk to students about saving for college.
Zweifel spoke to the fourth and fifth grade students about taking steps to save now so when they grow up they have the opportunity to make their dreams a reality. He spoke about the state’s MOST program, Missouri’s 529 College Savings Plan which is sponsoring a poster content. Two winners in the program will receive a $1,500 contribution in a MOST 529 savings account.
“My goal with Missouri MOST is to make sure we’re touching every child in this state, that we’re giving those parents and opportunity to learn how to save for college, giving them the tools to do so and helping them along in the process,” said Zweifel.
To win, students must draw a picture depicting what they want to be when they grow up. For more information check out MissouriMost.org.
