Education—It’s the gift that never goes out of style and few have too much of.
Unlike fruitcake, quality academics are always appreciated.
So this holiday season as you scratch your head asking what to give someone special, consider gifting tuition. It might be a payment toward a college education, or a private school.
Charter schools are public schools,and tuition free. Since many charter school youngsters are college bound, this might be the perfect time to start creating a student specific higher education fund.
Contact the school of interest and ask how you can make a contribution to a student’s account, buy a savings bond, or start a savings account.
Speak to your tax specialist about tuition gift options that could be tax free.
For the person on your list who has two of everything, you can sponsor the education for a needy child in their name. How is that for the gift that keeps on giving?
