A mini-fridge, a debit card, and a copy of COLLEGE RULES!: the essentials of any successful college experience. Teachers, counselors, family, and friends spend endless hours helping students get into college, but few prepare them for what to do day one through graduation. Lesson #1: College is different from high school, and even seniors at the top of their class need practical advice on how to successfully transition to college.

Monetta's College Savings Plan Expanded to Include Free Tuition Scholarships

By Anonymous

Wheaton, IL September 24, 2004 -- The Monetta Express College Savings Program now allows shareholders to accumulate annually Tuition Rewards™ credits equal to 5% of the account value. The credits accumulate like frequent flyer miles, but never expire, and can total up to $15,600 per student. The rewards program is offered in conjunction with SAGE Scholars Inc., an educational consulting firm, and can be used at 165 private colleges nationwide. Shareholders receive a one-time $250 Bonus just for enrolling.

“The Monetta College Savings program should be part of every family that is saving for college” says Robert S. Bacarella, president, Monetta Financial Services Inc. “It combines affordability with a principal protection option (Government Money Market Fund), guaranteed scholarships and a fun and educational financial literacy program.”

Tuition Rewards™ credits can also be earned by parents or grandparents with “safe money” by investing in the very conservative Government Money Market Fund. The account will earn a 5%, Tuition Rewards™ credit each year which can be given to any family member between birth and 17 years old. The rewards do not affect the account balance or the earned income.

The Monetta College Savings Plan can be started with a low minimum investment of $250 with a $25 monthly automatic investment plan (AIP*) or with a $1,000 deposit.

To receive, information on the Tuition Rewards™ program and the Monetta College Savings Plan, call 1-800-Monetta or email us at mailto:Info@Monetta.com.

*AIP Disclosure: The automatic investment plan program involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels and investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels. An AIP program does not assure a profit and does not protect against a loss in declining markets.

The fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the investment company, and it may be obtained by calling 1-800-Monetta, or visiting Monetta.com Read it carefully before investing.

All investments, including those in mutual funds, have risks and principal loss is possible.

An investment in the Government Money Market Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
