START Saving Program

START is Louisiana's 529 tax-advantaged education savings program offering two options, START College Saving and START K12, designed to help families save for future education expenses. START is administered by the Louisiana Tuition Trust Authority, operating under the Louisiana Board of Regents, who has contracted with a third-party administrator, Ascensus College Savings Recordkeeping Services, LLC to handle the day-to-day operations of the START saving programs.

Employees have the option to contribute to their START savings accounts via payroll deduction. To add, stop, or modify a payroll deduction, please contact your HR office.
