Treasurer Stacy Garrity Announces Major Milestone for Keystone Scholars

Treasurer Stacy Garrity joined representatives of Neighborhood Allies and Point Park University to celebrate more than $100 million saved by Keystone Scholars families in companion PA 529 College and Career Savings Program accounts.

Keystone Scholars automatically provides a $100 education investment for every baby born to, or adopted by, a Pennsylvania family since January 1, 2019, using no taxpayer money. PA 529 accounts provide a tax-advantaged way to save for post-high school education.

"Keystone Scholars is designed to encourage families to save early for education, and today's announcement shows that it's working," Treasurer Garrity said. "Our oldest Keystone Scholars are already in kindergarten, and our youngest were born today. It's tremendous to see so many families claiming their accounts and committing to saving for the future. Saving early and often will really pay off when a child picks their career path - no matter where it leads, whether it's a four-year degree at Point Park University, community college, technical training, or an apprenticeship. Taking the first step is often the hardest part of saving, but Keystone Scholars does that for you."

Stacy Garrity, Pennsylvania Treasurer
Toni Corinealdi, Senior Program Manager of Empowerment and Outreach, Neighborhood Allies
Presley Gillespie, President and CEO, Neighborhood Allies
