Does anyone know how 529 savings effect qualifications for the UC’s Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan?
529 plans are treated as a parent asset, so you’d have to look at the asset limits.
For a student to qualify for B&G, his parents must have income under the $80k amount PLUS he must have need. So, if your parents’ income is, say $75k, but your family has well-funded 529 accounts for their children, then your EFC may be too high to qualify for B&G.
