Choosing a 529 college savings plan
Compare all 529 plans by state
You can invest in 529 college savings plans from states across the country. Be sure to consider your own state plan as it may have additional benefits, including state tax advantages.
If you're interested in a Fidelity plan but Fidelity doesn't offer a 529 plan associated with your or your beneficiary's state of residence, consider one of our plan offerings for a state where you have a past or current connection (for example a college connection). Otherwise, consider our national plan, the UNIQUE College Investing Plan.
