TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Today, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jimmy Patronis issued a proclamation recognizing September as National College Savings Month and encourages Floridians to start saving now for your child’s future. A college degree is a major investment and with student loan debt reaching an estimated $1.7 trillion nationwide, pre-planning for the cost of college is not only vital to your student’s academic success, but future financial success as well. By saving a little each month early on, families can prepare financially for college in a way that is affordable and guaranteed.

Setting your child up for academic success without saddling them with major student loan debt is important to a successful financial future.
