FAQ
Trade schools, like a culinary school, are skills-based, so they're less focused on general knowledge that may or may not apply to the industry a student is seeking to enter. Whereas colleges and universities require a broad range of courses, trade schools hone in on one specific skill set.
Federal Financial Aid It's a common misconception that culinary school students are not eligible for federal financial aid. In many cases, this is not true! Federal financial aid in the form of grants and student loans may be available to eligible culinary school students, as long as their schools are accredited.
Savings for education A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged savings account designed to be used for the beneficiary's education expenses.
Thanks to a recent legislative update and the new “529 grandparent loophole,” grandparents who own a 529 account can make significant contributions to their grandchild's education savings without necessarily affecting the grandchild's eligibility for federal student aid.
This means keeping detailed records that include account statements with tuition and room and board; receipts for computer equipment, accessories, software, and internet; syllabi documenting course requirements (e.g., lab fees); canceled checks and records showing withdrawals for all other qualified education expenses.
Just log into your 529 plan account and click on Ugift. There you can get a Ugift code for each beneficiary that friends and family can use at any time over the life of your account.

Opening a 529 can be completed in (as little as) these four steps: Select a plan. You'll have to choose between a savings plan or a prepaid plan. Choose a beneficiary. This will likely be your child — but remember, you can change the beneficiary at any time without penalty. Open the account. Build your portfolio.
