No minimum to open or contribute to an account<\/p>\n
You decide how much to contribute, when you want to contribute, and how you will contribute. You can review your account at any time to see if you\u2019re on track to meet your savings goals, adjust your account to take advantage of increases in income or gifts or inheritances, or make adjustments to your plan based on your child\u2019s or grandchild\u2019s age.<\/p>\n
Mom or dad. Your brother or sister. A favorite aunt or uncle. Even your brother-in-law. Anyone can contribute directly to your account or accounts. Especially for birthdays, the holidays, graduations (especially from kindergarten to first grade), and other special events.<\/p>\n
