START Saving Program 529 Plan
Currently, Louisiana's START Saving Program does not support electronic (ACH) withdrawals to personal bank accounts. However, Backpack has partnered with Louisiana's START to enable direct electronic payments from START 529 plans to universities who are partnered with Backpack.
As always, creating a Tuition Payment in Backpack should be your first step to notify your University that you are making a payment using your 529.
Then, you'll be able to withdraw funds directly from within your START 529 portal by following the details below.
