Kiplinger: New College Program Gives Students Seed Money To Invest A University of Kentucky program provides students with seed money to become better savers and investors.
In a first-of-its-kind effort to get college students saving and investing early, the University of Kentucky is offering to seed brokerage accounts for all of its 31,500 students. It’s free money, ostensibly, but the program, called UK Invests, requires that students accomplish certain tasks before the school deposits any money in their accounts.
