ACCORDING TO A RECENT STUDY BY "SALLIE MAE" AND "IPSOS", THE MAJORITY OF FAMILIES AGREE THAT COLLEGE IS AN IMPORTANT AND WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT. YET, FEWER THAN HALF ARE SAVING FOR IT. NOW, THERE'S A NEW AND SIMPLE WAY TO SAVE FOR COLLEGE: "'U-PROMISE' GOAL-SAVER". "SALLIE MAE" KNOWS THAT THOSE WHO HAVE A PLAN AND SAVE ARE MORE LIKELY TO ATTEND COLLEGE, AND MORE LIKELY TO GRADUATE; THEY'LL ALSO DO SO WITH LESS DEBT. "'U-PROMISE' GOAL-SAVER" CAN GET FAMILIES ON THE RIGHT TRACK--TURNING SAVINGS INTO A HABIT, AND HELPING BRING THAT DREAM OF HIGHER EDUCATION WITHIN REACH. "'U-PROMISE' GOAL-SAVER" IS A FREE, NO-FEE, NO-MINIMUM-BALANCE SAVINGS-ACCOUNT: FAMILIES SIMPLY SET A GOAL, SAVE TOWARD IT, TRACK THEIR PROGRESS, AND EARN REWARDS--LIKE ANNUAL CASH-BACK BONUSES, FOR SETTING UP AUTOMATIC DEPOSIT. IT REALLY IS SAVING MADE SIMPLE. TO LEARN MORE, GO TO "U-PROMISE"-DOT-COM-SLASH-"GOAL-SAVER". OR, SIGN UP AT "U-PROMISE-GOAL-SAVER"-DOT-COM.
