College can be downright expensive now-a-days, but a Nebraska funded program can help families begin that savings fund.
The "Nebraska Educational Savings Trust" or "NEST" offers investment opportunities to help begin saving for college.
Contributions to "NEST" are tax deductible up to $5,000 per year.
First National Bank in Scottsbluff is hosting the "nest-fest" this Saturday so families can learn how much is needed to help their young ones pursue higher education.
Laurie Morgheim says the earlier you can start saving for college the better.
"Get going on it as soon as possible. Get online, this is easy to set up. It takes about 10 minutes if you want to set it up online. There's no minimum to get started with setting up your plan."
The "Nest Fest" will take place from 11 to 2 at Western Nebraska Community College.
