The state of Texas offers three flexible investing options to assist families in planning for the future education of a child or loved one.

1) Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan

Formerly known as the Texas Tomorrow Fund, it’s a fund administered by the Texas Prepaid Higher Education Tuition Board that gives individuals the chance to prepay tomorrow's college tuition and required fees at Texas public and private colleges and universities at about what it would cost today. The Board invests these payments and will use the investment earnings to cover the full cost of college tuition and required fees at Texas public colleges and universities, or the estimated average private tuition and required fees at Texas private colleges and universities, for students enrolled in the program.
