HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - The Pennsylvania Treasury Department is cutting fees for its state-sponsored program to help families save for college.
Democratic state Treasurer Joe Torsella said Thursday that asset-based fees for its PA 529 Investment Plan account will drop, saving account holders about $17 million over five years.
The agency says lower costs are a result of renegotiated deals with the companies that keep records and handle investments for the program, Ascensus and Vanguard.
