<p>Welcome to the Oregon 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 <a href='http://www.oregoncollegesavings.com' target='_blank'>www.oregoncollegesavings.com</a>.</p>
<p>Children with as little as $500 saved for college are three times more likely to enroll in college and four times more likely to graduate, research shows. It is encouraging statistics like this that motivated us to create our school-based outreach program <i>Be College Ready</i>.</p>
<h1 class='heading'>Be College Ready</h1>
<p>Launched as a pilot program in five school districts during the 2015-16 school year, Be College Ready had the simple goal of helping young families learn the value of saving for higher education early in a child’s life using the OCSP. With results showing an increase in OCSP accounts among participating school districts and communities, we expanded Be College Ready to become a statewide program.</p>
<h1 class='heading'>Be College Ready Today</h1>
<p>For the 2017-2018 school year Be College Ready has been open to <b>all</b> public elementary schools, private elementary schools and homeschooled children of elementary school age across Oregon. We are very pleased with the response as of February 1, 2018:</p>
<ul>
<li>We have partnered with 72 different school districts across the state, serving 168 schools (10 private schools), including 28 school presentations/events with OCSP staff, resulting in an increased presence and awareness of the OCSP among Oregon families</li>
<li>We have provided 25,836 OCSP English informational brochures and 4,905 OCSP Spanish informational brochures to participating schools that can be shared with parents</li>
<li>
We have provided 46,474 English Be College Ready kits and 8,213 Spanish Be College Ready kits to participating schools
<ul>
<li>Each kit contains free homework folders, pencils and bookmarks for every student; also included is information for parents to win $100 for an OCSP account</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
The sharing of information about the benefits of the OCSP has translated into a substantial increase in OCSP account activity in participating school districts when comparing OCSP account activity from September –December 2016 to September –December 2017
<ul>
<li>The overall total number of new OCSP accounts opened in Be College Ready communities for the 2017 period is up 4.6% and the dollar amounts from these new contributing accounts <b>is up 49.6%</b> compared to 2016</li>
<li>The overall total number of OCSP contributing accounts in Be College Ready communities for the 2017 period was up 12.3% and the dollar amounts from these contributing accounts are up 12.7% when compared to the same timeframe from the year before</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
