Welcome to the Oregon Treasury Savings Network’s county information website. This website contains information about the college savings activity in every Oregon County. The Network was created to increase the ability of Oregonians to save for future higher education expenses through the Oregon College Savings Plan (OCSP). It is a unique investment tool that provides state and federal tax advantages and more flexibility than many other college savings vehicles. For more information, visit www.oregoncollegesavings.com.
Children with college savings accounts like the OCSP have greater college expectations:
Kids who know they have a college savings account (even a small one) are 2.5 times more likely to go and graduate from college.
In fact, low- to moderate-income children with under $500 saved for college are 3 times more likely to go to college and 4.5 times more likely to graduate.
Be College Ready for 2020-2021
As most schools start their second semester and begin the process of limited in-person learning for students across the state, we at the Oregon College Savings Plan realize these are challenging times. Administrators, teachers, students and parents are all trying to adjust to the realities of what the pandemic has done to the k-12 education process. Every school district is approaching the situation a little bit differently based on the conditions in their community, and we know one size does not fit all. Therefore, we have decided to postpone mailing our Be College Ready kits to elementary schools this year and wait to mail these free materials to elementary schools at the start of the 2021-22 school year, assuming in-person learning will resume then.
Schools and school districts still have the ability to order kits this year if appropriate for your school situation. Again, kits include free homework folders, bookmarks, pencils and informational brochures. Orders can be placed here: https://becollegeready.net/materials.php.
Contained in the homework folders are informational fliers about our Cash For College Sweepstakes where we offer 50 families an opportunity to receive a $100 College Savings Plan Account for a student currently in elementary school (k-5). Parents/Guardians can enter the Sweepstakes until February 28th here: https://becollegeready.net/cash-for-college.php.
