FUTURE
What is a 529 Plan?
A 529 Plan is a tax-advantaged savings account designed to help families save for education. Money placed in the plan grows tax-free and can be withdrawn tax-free when used for qualified educational expenses, like tuition, books, and fees.
Can I use a 529 Plan for flight school?
Yes! Many vocational and professional programs—like Delta Qualiflight—qualify for 529 Plan funding. That means you can use your 529 savings to help cover the cost of your flight training.
Why choose a 529 Plan?
It’s one of the smartest ways to invest in your future. With tax advantages and flexibility, a 529 Plan makes the path to becoming a pilot more affordable and accessible.
