How can I pay my student's account from my 529 Plan?
3/13/2025
Many 529 College Savings plans now have a digital distribution option (electronic ACH) which saves time and improves transparency with real-time payment tracking. When requesting a withdrawal from your plan, check with your plan administrator to see if a digital distribution option is available through flywire.
Note: The selection of 529 plans are limited to the companies participating with the third party vendor payment processor. If your company is not listed, then your 529 plan company may send a check to SIUE, Bursar's Office, Box 1042, Edwardsville, IL 62026 or overnight a payment to SIUE, Rendleman Hall Room 1101, #6 Hairpin Drive, Edwardsville, IL 62026. Make sure the check or stub includes the student's name and student's id (800#) number. Please allow ten business days for the payment to be received by the payment due date.
