SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 05, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ScholarShare 529, California’s official college savings plan, announced today its 2019 holiday offer designed to help California families save for college this holiday season.

“Saving for college is more important than ever, and the holidays are a great time to get started,” said Julio Martinez, executive director of the ScholarShare Investment Board. “Between tax advantages and wide-ranging investment options, ScholarShare 529 is a great choice for college savings. We encourage all California families who are not yet saving for college to take advantage of this offer and begin saving for their children’s future this holiday season.”
