Georgia’s college savings plan and libraries across the state are giving away five scholarships to students for up to $5,500.
Libraries have joined the Path2College 529 Plan to kick-off the “Every Hero Has a Story” sweepstakes, where four Georgia children will each win $1,529 and one grand prize winner will win $5,529 for their Path2College 529 Plan.
This is the sixth year Path2College 529 Plan and the Georgia Public Library Service have partnered on the statewide initiative designed to encourage kids to read throughout the summer and remind their parents and grandparents about the importance of saving for college.
Parents, grandparents and legal guardians (who are at least 21 years of age or older) can enter children born in 1999 or after, and who are participating in the Georgia Public Library 2015 Summer Reading Program for a chance to win.
Last year, more than 212,000 children and teens participated in the Summer Reading Program sponsored by the library service. The annual program provides activities for children throughout the summer, and prizes are awarded for everyone who reads whether it is in the form of a book, ebook, audiobook or a magazine. Families can check with the local public library for a calendar of events and programs.
Since 2010, the Path2College 529 Plan has contributed more than $55,000 to Georgia children and libraries through the yearly summer reading program sweepstakes.
For official rules, prize details and to enter, parents and grandparents should visit www.Path2College529.com. Entries must be submitted online by Aug. 10. Winners of the sweepstakes will be selected randomly from entries across the state's 63 library systems.
