Minimize the Impact of Loans

Much of the strain of paying for college comes after college, when graduates and their families begin paying off what can feel like mountains of student loan debt. That's why GCU believes it's a good idea to pay for as much of it as you can through a Coverdell Education Savings Account that grows tax-free as long as you use it for college. Loans can still supplement your savings if necessary, but nothing beats the peace of mind of knowing your child isn't saddled with loan payments that can delay things like home ownership or other milestones of adulthood.

Coverdell Education Savings Account

A GCU Coverdell Education Savings Account is a great way to plan for college expenses as funds grow tax-free. If it's used for qualified educational expenses, funds will not be taxed. Parents, grandparents, other family, friends and the child themselves can contribute to an Coverdell Education Savings Account up to $2,000 per year.
