This report summarizes the programs in the 15 states of the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) designed to help parents provide for future college costs. It differentiates between college savings plans, bond programs, and prepaid tuition plans. Differences in the programs of the various states are discussed, such as who can buy a prepaid tuition contract, who may benefit, what contingencies may arise, and refund policies. Federal and state tax implications are mentioned. Recommendations cover the issues that should be explored as states consider prepaid tuition or college savings programs: (1) whether the benefits and requirements of the plan are clear and easy to understand; (2) who the plan is targeting and outreach effectiveness; (3) accommodation for those in the most financial need; (4) data collection for program evaluation; (5) necessity for clearly communicating to the public that benefits cover only a portion of the total cost of attending college? (6) effects of program participation on student eligibility for financial aid; and (7) effects of plans on future college-going rates and enrollment trends. (DB)
