Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan

Working with You to Help College Savings Grow

Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan

Sponsored by the State of New Hampshire

Our 529 plan offers potential tax advantages, a broad range of investment options, and high contribution limits to help students save for higher education expenses.

Assets in the plan can be used for tuition, books, and other education-related expenses at most accredited colleges and universities.1 With the new tax bill, parents who send their children to private elementary and high school can also use our plan to cover those expenses.
