There are many gifts that you can give to a child or loved one, but how many of them can help make that child's future dreams come true? When you open a Mississippi Affordable College Savings (MACS) Program account for a child or loved one, or contribute to an existing account, you help build a foundation that can shape the dream of higher education and open the door to a world of opportunities.

Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and other family members can all help a child or loved one achieve their dream of a higher education with the MACS program. Learn more about the potential tax benefits of opening a MACS account.
