These instructions are for Inversant families enrolled in the Chelsea High School program site.
We recognize thought and planning it takes to save for higher education. We know how difficult this last year has been and celebrate the time and care you’ve put into your child’s education. Inversant will reward you for reaching your goal by matching your first $1,500 in savings.
When do I receive the savings match?
- If you have not reached your savings goal of $1,500 by May 31, 2021, you may keep working on your goal through August 31, 2021. Inversant will match your first $1,500 in savings at that time.
How does the match work?
Inversant will match, dollar-for dollar, your first $1,500 saved. The match dollars are available in the form of reimbursements for approved expenses and as funds payable directly to your child’s college or university.
Example A: You have saved $1,500. Inversant matches your savings with an additional $1,500. You purchase a $2,000 laptop for your child.
You submit the laptop receipt and a withdrawal form to Inversant’s Chelsea Manager. Inversant mails you a $2,000 reimbursement check. Half of that amount comes out of your Inversant savings account: The other half comes from Inversant’s savings-match fund. Inversant draws equally from your savings account and from the match fund until both sources are completely spent.
Example B: You have saved $1,500. Inversant matches your savings with an additional $1,500.You receive an $800 tuition bill from your child’s college.
You submit this bill and a Chelsea Withdrawal Form to Inversant’s Chelsea Manager. Inversant mails the college an $800 check. Half of this amount comes out of your Inversant savings account. The other half comes from Inversant’s savings-match fund. Inversant draws equally from your savings account and from the match fund until both sources are completely spent.
How do I access the match dollars?
Request reimbursement for approved expenses
1. Gather all receipts from higher education purchases, for example:
- Transportation
- Laptop
- Semester fees
- Tuition
- Other expenses (expenses that might not fit in the general definition of college expenses need to be approved)
2. Please make sure the amount paid for and description of each product or service purchased (i.e., books, computer, student housing) are legible on the receipt. Receipts that don’t clearly show the price paid and product or service purchased will delay the reimbursement process.
