Victory Capital 529 Distinguished Valor Matching Grant Program

Program Overview

In honor and recognition of our veterans and active duty military personnel, the Nevada State Treasurer and the Nevada College Savings Board of Trustees, in partnership with Victory Capital, have established the Victory Capital 529 Distinguished Valor Matching Grant Program to assist Nevada military families and their beneficiaries in attaining their higher education goals.

The purpose of the Victory Capital 529 Distinguished Valor Matching Grant Program is to support the education goals of our U.S. military and their beneficiaries.
