Day #9 in the Holiday Gifts giveaway goes to Freshman Fund. We covered the Freshman Fund launch with a the company’s video demo back in November. Freshman Fund describes their service as:

Freshman Fund helps families save for college with an online registry for your child’s college fund. Create a free account at FreshmanFund.com and invite your friends and family to share in your college savings journey. Gifts made through Freshman Fund go directly into your child’s college fund, providing a transparent and meaningful gift alternative for any occasion. This $25 "Scholar Dollars" gift certificate can be used to open your own account, or you can send it to the family of a loved one who is saving for college. The recipient can use this money to either open a college fund and get started, or add it to their existing savings, all through Freshman Fund.

Freshman Fund is offering a free $25 gift certificate to one lucky CN reader. The money can only be used for a college fund, so the recipient should have a child with a college fund or have a parent to whom they’d like to "give the gift of college savings." To enter, send in your contact details via our contact form. We will select the winner on January 1st.
