Preparing for a child or grandchild's education is not as simple as it used to be. Today's options offer more potential, but must be chosen carefully.

Depending on family income and other factors, it is important to make these decisions as early in the child's life as possible.

Your Northwestern Mutual Financial Network Representative* can provide you with information on Coverdell Education Savings Accounts, custodial accounts (UTMAs and UGMAs) and 529 plans to help you make this important decision.
