TEACHERS WIN TOO: $50 GIFT CARD FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES

The CHET Dream Big! Competition promotes creativity and invites Connecticut K-5 students and their families to start thinking about college—and how to save for it. Students can win a CHET direct-sold 529 college savings account by dreaming about what they will do after college and entering the competition. Teachers win, too—with a fun, creative activity for students and a chance to win a $50 gift card. All teachers who submit at least two student entries will receive a $50 gift card for school supplies.

The CHET Dream Big! Competition provides a great opportunity to promote the benefits of a college education and inspire students to dream big about their future.
