Happy 529 Day! It's our favorite holiday here at The College Investor, and there's no better day to talk about saving for college. We've got 529-themed coverage running all day — including an AMA from Robert Farrington on Reddit, where he'll be answering your 529, student loan, and college savings questions throughout the day.
We also rounded up this year's 529 Day bonuses and promotional offers earlier this week, so if you've been meaning to open or fund an account, now's the time.
Beyond the celebration, this week brought a sobering counterpoint (new data showing mortgage and student loan delinquencies climbing) plus a healthcare-focused angle on the graduate loan cap lawsuit and a closer look at the new FAFSA identity-verification step.
Here's a quick look at the most important stories shaping higher education and student finances this week for May 29, 2026.
