Husson University is proud to partner with the Alfond Scholarship Foundation and their efforts to make education more accessible for Maine families. Through the $500 Alfond Grant, Maine residents can open a NextGen 529 account without an initial contribution, giving families the flexibility to start saving for college. Husson has expanded its NextGen 529 match benefit. In addition to providing a match for employees with newborns, we now offer an additional match for Husson employees who open a NextGen 529 account for a child of any age. We are proud to work alongside partners like the Alfond Scholarship Foundation who prioritize the educational future of Maine’s children.
