Fidelity plans free college-savings seminars

Fidelity Investments said it will offer 16 free seminars in Massachusetts that will focus on college savings options and how consumers can determine which option might make the most sense for them.

Folks who attend next week's seminars will receive two complimentary tickets to a New England Revolution game, Fidelity added.

The Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority is a co-host of the seminars along with Fidelity, a Boston mutual fund company whose product portfolio includes college savings plans such as the 529 plan.

According to Fidelity, next week has been designated as "529 Week," hence the timing of the seminars from Tuesday, May 26, through Friday, May 29, at Fidelity Investor Centers in Boston, Braintree, Burlington, Cambridge, Danvers, Framingham, and Shrewsbury, Fidelity said in a press release.

The press release noted that more information about the timing and the locations of the seminars can be found by visiting this page on the Fidelity website. Once on the page, click on "College planning."
