The Ohio Tuition Trust Authority is a state agency within the Ohio Department of Higher Education that administers Ohio's 529 college savings program, CollegeAdvantage, a program begun in 1989 to help families save for higher education. It serves families seeking tax-advantaged ways to fund college by offering two savings options: a Direct 529 plan that lets individuals select and manage their own investments, and an Advisor-sold plan delivered through financial professionals. The Direct plan provides a range of cost-conscious investment options, with Vanguard, Dimensional Fund Advisors, and Fifth Third Bank serving as the plan's investment managers; the Advisor plan offers similar tax advantages with different investment options. The organization is based in Columbus, Ohio, and operates with a relatively small staff. 529 plans are tax-advantaged college savings programs designed to help families fund higher education. In April 2026, CollegeAdvantage announced a partnership with the Dayton Dragons to support an MVP program, illustrating ongoing collaboration with community organizations.
