Are 529 Plans Counted On The FAFSA?

A 529 Plan owned by the student will not be included as an asset on the FAFSA for the 2008-09 school year. Beginning in 2009-2010, student owned 529s will be assessed at the parent's asset rate. 529s owned by the parent with the student as the beneficiary are currently treated as a parent asset and will continue to be.
