get help from your family & friends

When it comes to reaching important goals, working as a team can get you there faster. Of course, as parents, you have the most interest in seeing your child go to college. But close friends and family members might want to lend a hand, too. Let them be a part of your child's future by creating a Upromise team.

It's a simple, effective way to boost your savings:

number one

You Invite

Send a personalized email inviting family & friends to support your college student.

number two

They Accept

Family & friends receive the email you sent and let you know they accept your invitation to save.

number three

Family & Friends Save Together

Your family and friends can allocate any portion of their Upromise college savings to your student(s).

how much difference can it make?

You'd be surprised at how your Upromise rewards can multiply as more people get involved and actively participate in the Upromise Family & Friends program.

For example, Susan C., a Upromise member from North Carolina, invited friends and family members to participate in the program. The results are impressive...
