The Path from Pre-K to College Sweepstakes is now open, and Georgia parents, grandparents and guardians with pre-k-aged children have the opportunity to win money for college simply by entering. The sweepstakes, held by Georgia's Path2College 529 Plan and the Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL), will award four children across the state with $1,529 each for their education.

"Four lucky children will win money for their college savings, and we hope this will be the catalyst for many Georgia families to begin saving for college. Saving small amounts over time can help build a solid financial foundation for higher education pursuits," said Georgia Student Finance Commission President Lynne Riley.

Winners will be chosen in four regions of the state–Metro Atlanta, Southeast, North and South Georgia. The winner's Pre-K program will also win $1,529.

"Again this year, I encourage families of children enrolled in Georgia's Pre-K Program to enter the Pre-K to College Sweepstakes sponsored by the Path2College 529 Plan," said DECAL Commissioner Amy M. Jacobs. "It is not too early for families to start investing in their children's college or workforce dreams, and winning this sweepstakes could be a perfect first step. Georgia's Path2College 529 Plan helps ensure that students have the resources to pursue the academic or career paths of their choice."

Parents, legal guardians or grandparents with children enrolled in one of Georgia's Pre-K Programs for the 2022-2023 school year may submit entries online between March 1-31, 2023.
