A primary goal of the Children and Youth Savings Account Policy Demonstration (CYSAPD) is to operate in a cost-effective manner and to demonstrate a program that may eventually serve millions of people. Accordingly, consideration should be given in CYSAPD to using college savings plans for parents saving for the education of a child, and for teens interested in saving for post-secondary education. This paper addresses college savings plans, followed by design and research implications for CYSAPD.
