The Advantages of Starting Early



            Once a child is nine years old, half of your time to save for college has passed! The more you

            invest and the earlier you start, the more opportunity your money has to grow. Take a look at
            the chart to see the growth potential of your investment over the course of 18 years.

                                                              Years of Accumulation

              This hypothetical example illustrates the future values of different regular monthly investments for different time periods and assumes an annual
              investment return of 6% with an initial investment of $5,000. It is presented for illustrative purposes and does not reflect actual performance or predict
              future results of OCSP and does not reflect any deduction for expenses or taxes or the benefits of any Oklahoma income tax deduction that may apply.
              If such fees or charges were taken into account, returns would have been lower. With any long-term investment, investment return may vary. Such
              automatic investment plans do not assure a profit or protect against losses in declining markets. Account values will fluctuate with market conditions
              and the specific Investment Options that are selected.












       Saving is a smart game plan


       Curtis was born to play football. In fact,
       when it came to college, this passion
       and talent helped him get some
       scholarship offers. But they weren’t
       enough to cover tuition and living
       expenses. Fortunately, both Curtis’
       parents and grandparents opened an
       Oklahoma 529 College Savings Plan
       account for him early on, contributing
       each month. It’s what turned the dream
       of college into a reality for Curtis.
