Higher Education Savings: A Gift They Won’t Forget

A NEST 529 account allows you to invest money in your child’s education that will potentially grow over time, so you can help cover the cost of things like college, trade school, apprenticeships, and more. When you make contributions by the end of the year, you can earn 2025 tax benefits, including a potential Nebraska state income tax deduction each year on contributions by the account owner of up to $10,000.¹ And, your friends and family can make gift contributions, just in time for the holidays.
