Keystone Scholars is open to Pennsylvania residents born after December 31, 2018 and children born
after December 31, 2018 who are subsequently adopted by a Pennsylvania resident. The child must be a
Pennsylvania resident at birth or adoption and at the time the Keystone Scholars funds are used. The child
must also be the beneficiary of a PA 529 account other than the Keystone Scholars account at the time
Keystone Scholars funds are used. If not used by the beneficiary’s 29th birthday, the funds will be returned to
the Pennsylvania Treasury Department (Treasury). Funds in a Keystone Scholars account will be invested in a
PA 529 GSP account and will remain under the sole custody of Treasury until they are used for the purposes
of paying for qualified higher education expenses at an institution of higher education. A list of qualified higher
education expenses may be found at www.pa529.com. No additional funds may be contributed to a Keystone
Scholars account. However, families are encouraged to save in their own PA 529 account.
