The 2016 Rhode Island Private School Fair, sponsored by CollegeBound Savings, will be held on Saturday, September 24, 9:00AM - 12:00PM at the Agawam Hunt Club in Rumford, RI.

“It is never too soon for families to focus on a child’s education and start saving for college” said Rhode Island General Treasurer Seth Magaziner. “Rhode Island’s CollegeBound Saver accounts can be opened with as little as $1 per month. Those investments grow tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified higher education expenses are also federal income-tax free.”
