Can family and friends help me save for college expenses?

Family and friends can help you build your college savings by opening their own Upromise account and directing their rewards to your student’s 529 College Savings Plan account or college savings account. They can establish a link to your student’s 529 College Savings Plan account or college savings account by simply adding the account and owner information in the Profile page of their Upromise account.

Once your student’s account is linked to their Upromise account, we will automatically transfer their Earned Rewards each month to your student’s account, provided they have met their minimum transfer requirement.
