An easy way to keep college savings part of the plan
The reminder tool lets you set up automatic emails tied to important milestones—like birthdays, graduations, or other annual events.
You can create reminders for yourself or send them to a relative or friend. Each reminder is personalized to a child and scheduled to send on the date you choose—either one time or every year.
That’s it. No app to install. No account access required for the recipient. Just helpful emails delivered when the time is right.

- Anyone can set up one-time or recurring reminders for milestone events like baby showers, first steps, or graduation
