News: 529 plans can be used to obtain and maintain AFC certification.
Effective July 4, 2025, 529 plans can fund AFC program costs (tuition, fees, books, continuing education).
The AFC is a recognized credential, qualifying due to its COOL directory listing and NCCA accreditation. (Confirm specifics with your 529 plan administrator or tax advisor.)
