<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="https://www.oregoncollegesavings.com/" target="_blank"><span
class="underline">www.oregoncollegesavings.com</span></a>.</p>
<p>Children with college savings accounts like the OCSP have greater college expectations:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>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.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>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.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span class="underline">Be College Ready wrap up for 2018-2019</span></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 <em>Be College Ready</em> to be a statewide program.</p>
<p>The <em>Be College Ready</em> program for the 2018-2019 school year began on August 13, 2018. The program was
open to all public elementary schools, private elementary schools and homeschooled children of elementary school
age across Oregon.</p>
<p>During the 2018-19 school year, 43 school districts participated in <em>Be College Ready</em>, with an increase
in OCSP account openings of 8 percent over last year. Additionally, there was an increase in new account
contributions of 9 percent, totaling more than $38 million in the participating districts alone. The Oregon
College Savings Plan is making a tangible difference through outreach to families looking for a simple means to
save and make college more affordable.</p>
<p><strong><span class="underline">Be College Ready for 2019-2020</span></strong></p>
<p>As we head into the 2019-2020 school year, <em>Be College Ready</em> will once again be a statewide school and
community outreach program, but with some small adjustments compared to years past. In mid-August, every public
elementary school will receive free <em>Be College Ready</em> kits for their kindergarten students that will
include:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Fun school materials—bookmark, pencil and homework folder—and an Oregon College Savings Plan informational
brochure (in English and Spanish); and</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>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 <em>Kinder Grad</em> program.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Schools will be able to order <em>Be College Ready</em> 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 2019-2020 <em>Be College Ready</em> supplies for grades
1-5 on August 19, 2019 at <a href="https://www.becollegeready.net" target="_blank">www.becollegeready.net</a>.</p>
