Open a free child savings account and Entergy will contribute $50 and match what you save! Up to $365 this year
Entergy believes in the dreams of the families we serve. Everyone deserves the opportunity to continue their education and, as a corporate leader and service provider, we want to partner with families to help make those dreams a reality.
Entergy offers a child savings account through the Kids to College powered by Entergy program. This program will establish 8,000 child savings accounts for families in our four-state service area designed specifically for post-secondary education. When eligible families sign up for a free child savings account through the Kids to College program, Entergy will contribute $50 and will match any savings in the account up to $365 this year.
Child savings accounts allow families to put money away to start saving for their children to attend a two- or four-year college, trade school or technical school. When a family plans for their child’s future by setting aside funds for college, the child is four times more likely to complete a degree.
You can open an account free of charge, invest your savings and watch it grow. Once the beneficiary has reached 18 years of age, the money can be used for tuition and other qualified expenses.

Qualified families will receive Entergy's $50 contribution so that the families who need it most are served.
