Most States offer Pre-Paid College Trust Funds. Please contact your plan administrator for information and requirements.
It is the student’s/parent’s responsibility to begin the process early to ensure that funds are requested from the trust fund and received by UMBC by the bill due date, to avoid late fees. For information and requirements for the Maryland College Investment Fund, please consult https://maryland529.com/, which improves transparency with real-time payment tracking. When requesting a withdrawal from your 529 account, check with your plan manager to see if a digital distribution option is available.
Most plans require an itemized statement to be submitted for approval. The student can print their itemized statement by following the directions found here https://sbs.umbc.edu/itemized-billing-statement/
