<p>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 <a href="https://www.oregoncollegesavings.com/">Oregon
College
Savings Plan</a>.</p>
<p>Children with college savings accounts like the OCSP have greater college expectations:</p>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Be College Ready wrap up for 2019-2020</strong></p>
<p>Launched as a pilot program in five school districts during the 2015-16 school year, <em>Be College
Ready</em> 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 be a statewide program.</p>
<p>The Be College Ready program for the 2019-2020 school year began on August 19, 2019. The program was
open to all public elementary schools, private elementary schools and homeschooled children of elementary school
age
across Oregon. As part of the program we launched our Kinder Grad incentive where parents of kindergarten students
who do not already have accounts are able to receive a $25 match from the Plan to open an account for their child
as
part of the program.</p>
<p>The 2019-2020 school year has obviously been a unique one with the outbreak of the coronavirus.
However, despite the closure of schools towards the end of the school year Network staff were still able to attend
dozens of school events and provide informational presentations at elementary schools all across the state. At
this
time we are looking to schedule more virtual informational sessions for members of the public in order to learn
more
about the OCSP. If you are interested in participating in one of these webinars please email us at <a
href="mailto:becollegeready@ost.state.or.us">becollegeready@ost.state.or.us</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Be College Ready for 2020-2021</strong></p>
<p>As we head into the 2020-2021 school year, Be College Ready will once again be a statewide school
and community outreach program. In mid-August every public elementary school will receive free Be College Ready
kits
for their kindergarten students that will include (timing will be dependent on schools re-opening):</p>
<ul>
<li>Fun school materials—bookmark, pencil and homework folder—and an Oregon College Savings Plan informational
brochure (in English and Spanish); and</li>
<li>Parents of kindergarten students who do not already have accounts can also receive $25 from the Plan to open
an account for their child as part of our new Kinder Grad program.</li>
</ul>
<p>Schools will be able to order Be College Ready kits for the entire school population after receiving
the kindergarten kits, with every elementary family once again having the chance to win $100 for an Oregon College
Savings Plan account. Additionally, Oregon College Savings Plan outreach staff will be available to share
information about the Plan at a PTA/PTO meeting and/or other school events to answer questions family members may
have about the Plan.</p>
<p>Teachers and administrators can begin ordering their free 2020-2021 Be College Ready supplies for
grades 1-5 on August 17, 2020 at <a href="https://www.becollegeready.net/">Be College Ready</a>.</p>
<p>If you have any questions about the program please call 503-373-1903.</p>
