RI Private School Fair is Sept. 24
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.”
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Rhode Island General Treasurer Seth Magaziner’s office and the CollegeBound Saver (www.collegeboundsaver.com) as exclusive sponsors for the 2016 Rhode Island Private School Fair" said Jock Hayes, Director of Events with East Bay Events.
