Have you heard of GradSave? If you have children and are wanting to save for college, you might want to check it out. It is a great resource for getting contributions for your child's college fund from family and friends. They can contribute to your child's GradSave account, then you link it to a 529 college savings account (tax-free!). David and I are so excited about the GradSave account we just set up for Lucia, because we have many family members who send Lucia money for holidays. Now we can direct them to her GradSave account. (You can even share your little one's account on Facebook and Twitter!)
Right now, GradSave has a $10,000 Scholarship Sweepstakes! Go enter! As my mom always says, "Someone has to win and there is no reason why it can't be me." Wouldn't that be a wonderful addition to your child's college savings? Click here to go to the entry form. See below for the nitty-gritty sweepstakes details.

York, such winner must select the upfront payment of $4,000. In the
