SMART529 Fund the Future Sweepstakes Opportunity
The West Virginia State Treasurer’s Office (WVSTO) announced the Fund the Future Sweepstakes on May 1, 2026. One lucky West Virginia child will win a $10,000 SMART529 College Savings account. Children must be 17 years of age or younger to enter. Deadline is Wednesday, May 20, 2026. The entry form and official sweepstakes rules can be found at www.wvtreasury.gov/fundthefuture.
•Entries must be completed by a parent or legal guardian •Child must be 17 or younger •Child AND parent or legal guardian must be a resident of West Virginia •Only one entry per eligible child permitted •Multiple children in a household may be entered to win *See Official Sweepstakes Rules for eligibility requirement details and other contest rules.
Research shows that children, with even a small amount of college savings, are 2.5 times more likely to graduate from college. We hope our sweepstakes inspires families to learn about the SMART529 College Savings Program and start planning for their child’s educational future. Funds saved in a SMART529 account aren’t just limited to paying for college – the funds can also be used for apprenticeship programs as well as vocational and trade schools across the United States and even some foreign institutions.
Prizes have been ordered and will be arriving very soon. We will be planning some time with Madelyn Odell, with World's Finest Chocolate, to hand these prizes out and recognize our great salespeople.
Thank you for all your help!
