Lock-in tomorrow's tuition at today's rates.  

 

 

Enroll in the U.Plan Prepaid Tuition Program to stay ahead of rising college costs. The U.Plan lets you “prepay” up to 100% of your child’s future tuition at today’s rates, at any of the 80 participating public and private colleges in Massachusetts. 

 

You can contribute to the U.Plan each year during the annual enrollment period, open now through June 30th. 

 

View this video to see how the U.Plan works.

To be sure you're getting the education loan that's right for your needs,  make sure you keep in mind these borrower tips when shopping for an education loan:

 

  1. A loan advertised as a student loan may still require a co-borrower.
  2. A co-borrower is equally as responsible for a loan as the primary borrower, in most cases.
  3. Deferred loans will cost more than immediate repayment loans. 
  4. Variable interest rate loans will likely increase as interest rates begin to rise in the economy.
  5. Fine print matters! Education loans aren't one size fits all.
