T. Rowe Price 529 College Savings Plan: $250 Bonus Per Child/Beneficiary
T. Rowe Price runs the 529 plan for the state of Alaska, and they have been improving it over the past several years such that it is now one of the top nationwide plans (for those without a signifiant in-state tax break favoring their in-state plan). Morningstar just rated it Gold for 2026 again. (My personal favorite remains the Utah My529 plan, rated Gold for many years and with the lowest expenses of all Gold-rated plans.)
Right now, TRP has a $250 bonus per account owner/beneficiary combination for new participants that open and fund a new account by 12/31/26. From the full terms and conditions:
The T. Rowe Price 529 Account Momentum Program is an incentive program established to encourage new account relationships in T. Rowe Price 529. New T. Rowe Price 529 account relationships funded with $250 or more during the calendar year may be eligible for a $250 incentive payment. To qualify, a unique account owner/beneficiary relationship must be new to T. Rowe Price 529—this means no previously existing account has or has had the same account owner with the same beneficiary—and the account must be funded by and on the last calendar day of the year. The Education Trust of Alaska has instituted a cap on the number of incentive payments a beneficiary can receive. A beneficiary may not qualify for more than $1,000 (4 incentives) in their lifetime as beneficiary. The order of priority for the award will be based on the account that is open and funded first.
I used to collect 529 bonuses from various plans and eventually consolidated them into one single plan (Utah). 529 plans often have no annual maintenance fees but rollovers do involve some extra paperwork (sometimes snail mail, sometimes a Medallion Signature guarantee), so keep that in mind if that is your plan. However, if you have 3 kids then this bonus is worth $750, not an insignificant amount especially if you invest and let it grow to 15+ years.
