The AIM College Savings Plan® is sponsored by the State of Nebraska and administered by the Nebraska State Treasurer. The AIM College Savings Plan offers a series of investment portfolios within the Nebraska Educational Savings Plan Trust (plan issuer), which offers other investment portfolios not affiliated with The AIM College Savings Plan.

Participation in the plan does not guarantee that contributions and the investment earnings, if any, will be adequate to cover future tuition and other higher education expenses or that a beneficiary will be admitted to or permitted to continue to attend an eligible educational institution.

This material is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Any offer to sell shares within the plan may only be made by the Enrollment Handbook and Participation Agreement relating to the plan.

Neither the State of Nebraska nor the Nebraska State Treasurer nor the Nebraska Investment Council nor the program manager shall have any debt or obligation to any contributor, any beneficiary or any other person as a result of the establishment of the plan, nor will these entities assume any risk or liability for mutual funds in which the plan invests.
