Letter to Plan Participants DEAR COLLEGE INVESTOR, We are pleased to present this annual report for the T. Rowe Price College Savings Plan covering the 2 months ended June 30, 207. A COLLEGE DEGREE OFFERS CLEAR EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS ADVANTAGES The U.S. unemployment rate fell steadily over the past 2 months, continuing its decline in recent years as the economy recovered from the 2007 2009 recession. While the labor market has improved for most workers, education plays a key role in determining one s job prospects. In recent years, unemployment rates for workers with a bachelor s degree or higher have been less than half of those with only a high school degree, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Moreover, unemployment rates for workers with a two-year associate s degree have been significantly lower than workers with only a high school diploma. Education has a major impact on incomes. Simply put, workers with a college education earn substantially more than those who didn t attend college. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, last year, workers with a bachelor s degree earned a median income of $,56 a week, while those with only a high school diploma earned a median income of $692 a week. For most people, a college education is a positive investment toward potential employment and earnings compared with having no college degree. ANNUAL COLLEGE COST INCREASES HAVE SLOWED BUT STILL OUTPACE INFLATION The rate of annual increases in college costs has declined in recent years, but it continues to exceed inflation. In the 0 years between the 2006 2007 and 206 207 academic years, published in-state tuition and fees at public four-year institutions rose at an average rate of 3.5% per year beyond inflation compared with inflation-adjusted average annual increases of 3.9% and 4.2% over the two prior decades. At private four-year colleges, the inflation-adjusted average annual increases in tuition and fees was 2.4% in the most recent decade compared with 3.% and 2.9% for the two prior decades.* The costs of attending college have significantly risen over the past 30 years. The inflation-adjusted price of tuition and fees for public four-year institutions in 206 207 was 3.0 times as high as it was in 986 987, while for private four-year colleges, the price of tuition and fees was 2.29 times as high.* The bottom line is that annual college cost increases have declined in recent years but continue to rise over the long term which is why a college savings plan remains important. HARNESSING THE POWER OF TAX-ADVANTAGED INVESTING There is no replacing personal savings as your best opportunity to pay for college. College savings plans can be an important consideration for anyone saving for higher education. For many families, 529 plans offer a highly effective way to plan ahead for college costs. Along with the chance to build a financial foundation that makes college more affordable, 529 plans offer another tangible financial advantage: a reduction in your tax liability. Earnings on 529 plans are not subject to federal tax and generally not subject to state tax when used for qualified education expenses. These expenses include tuition, fees, books, room and board, and computer equipment. While each state offers its own 529 plan, you are not limited to investing in the state where you live. You can also change the designated beneficiary of a plan to another family member without penalty. For example, you can roll funds from a 529 for one of your children into a sibling s plan without penalty.

Investment Report U.S. STOCKS SURGE AS ECONOMY PICKS UP, CORPORATE EARNINGS REBOUND Steady economic growth and a rebound in corporate profits lifted stock markets worldwide in our fiscal year ended June 30, 207. U.S. stocks were range-bound early in the period amid caution before November s presidential election and uncertainty about the timing of the Federal Reserve s interest rate hikes. After the election, U.S. stocks soared as investors pinned their hopes on tax cuts, deregulation, and other business-friendly policies under the new administration. A long-awaited corporate earnings recovery fueled the rally. Overall profits for the S&P 500 rose at their fastest year-over-year pace in several years in the first quarter of 207 a welcome change after five quarters of earnings declines that began in mid-205. The S&P 500 Index rose to record levels through June, joining many global stock benchmarks that reached all-time highs. U.S. small-cap stocks outperformed their larger peers. Growth stocks outpaced value stocks among large- and mid-cap stocks, while small-cap growth and small-cap value stocks fared roughly the same, according to various Russell indexes. Nine of sectors in the S&P 500 Index advanced, while two fell. Financials gained the most, driven by rising interest rates, hopes for deregulation, and favorable results of the Fed s annual stress test for banks. Information technology was the next best performer due to outsized gains in a few technology and Internet stocks. Conversely, telecommunication services retreated as wireless operators grappled with weak subscriber growth and growing competition. The energy sector declined as crude oil prices sank in the first half of 207 amid a persistent global oversupply of oil. Signs of steady economic growth outside the U.S. offset mounting concerns about the Trump administration s ability to deliver on its agenda. Evidence of a sustained recovery grew more plentiful in Europe and Japan, helped by ultralow interest rates and other accommodative measures implemented by central banks in both markets. Emerging markets outperformed developed markets stocks as the global recovery translated into increased trade, benefiting export-driven economies across the developing world. All major emerging regions advanced, led by Asia, as strong growth in China drove economic activity in the region. 30% 25 20 5 0 5 0-5 Global Market Returns Periods Ended 6/30/7 6-Month Return 2-Month Return S&P 500 Index *Principal return only.

This year, however, longer-term Treasury yields reversed course as inflation stayed tame and investors surmised that Trump s expansionary fiscal agenda would take longer than expected to materialize. Following the Fed s rate hike in December 206, the central bank raised interest rates in March and June and signaled one more hike in 207. It also announced plans to start gradually reducing its $4.5 trillion balance sheet consisting of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities later this year. In the investment-grade universe, long-term corporate bonds performed the best as credit spreads the yield difference between Treasuries and bonds with some credit risk narrowed as the earnings recovery supported corporate fundamentals. On the other hand, long-term Treasuries declined. 6/30/7 3
Investment Report (continued) High yield bonds widely outpaced their investment-grade peers. High yield bonds rallied as they benefited from commodity prices stabilizing well above their lows in early 206, a subdued default outlook, and strong demand in an environment of low-yielding securities globally. Bonds in developed non-u.s. markets declined in dollar terms as government bond yields in the UK and the eurozone rose over the past year. In the UK, government bond yields rebounded from their post-brexit lows and after some Bank of England policymakers signaled in June that they were leaning toward increasing rates. In the eurozone, government bond yields surged from very low levels as speculation grew that the improving economy would lead the European Central Bank to start unwinding its years-long stimulus program. Currency weakness in our fiscal year s first half also hurt dollar-based returns. The British pound and Japanese yen each fell sharply against the dollar over the last 2 months, though most global currencies have appreciated against the greenback in 207. Dollar-denominated emerging markets bonds rose modestly in dollar terms, overcoming a postelection sell-off last November. Stable global growth, higher commodity prices, and relatively higher interest rates in most developing countries helped support the asset class.

2036 2036 generated a double-digit return and performed in line with its weighted benchmark for the 2 months ending June 30, 207. The portfolio s focus is long-term capital appreciation. The majority of its assets are held in a diversified selection of U.S. and international stocks, including emerging markets. Later in the portfolio s life cycle, it will incorporate an allocation to lowervolatility investments. Initially, this will include the Spectrum Income Fund, a multi-sector income fund that includes investments in high yield bonds, non- U.S. dollar bonds, emerging markets bonds, and dividend-paying stocks. Seven years prior to the portfolio s target maturity date, the fixed income component of the portfolio will begin to transition to the New Income Fund, a core U.S. investment-grade bond fund. Security selection in U.S. large-cap stocks contributed the most to the portfolio s outperformance. Within U.S. large-cap stocks, growth and value portfolios outpaced their respective style-specific benchmarks, with growth outperforming value. This was partially offset by underperformance within our U.S. small-cap stock and real assets portfolios. International stock portfolios produced mixed results.

Within fixed income, the portfolio is continuing to transition to the New Income Fund, a core U.S. investment-grade bond fund, as part of its strategy of becoming more conservative as it approaches its target maturity date. Security selection contributed the most to outperformance, particularly within the Spectrum Income Fund, which outpaced its style-specific benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Security selection in U.S. largecap growth stocks also contributed to relative performance. International stock portfolios produced mixed results. Tactical decisions to overweight and underweight asset classes lifted relative returns. An underweight to real assets relative to global stocks added value; however, our underweight to U.S. smallcap stocks relative to U.S. large-cap stocks that we maintained for most of the past year detracted from relative returns.

208 208 generated a single-digit return and outperformed its weighted benchmark for the 2 months ending June 30, 207. The portfolio systematically increases its allocation to fixed income investments as part of its long-term strategy of becoming more conservative over time. More than three-quarters of the portfolio is invested in fixed income funds. These funds include the New Income Fund, a core U.S. investment-grade bond fund; the Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund, which primarily holds short- and mediumterm, investment-grade, inflation-linked securities; and the Spectrum Income Fund, a multi-sector bond fund that includes investments in high yield bonds, non-u.s. dollar bonds, emerging markets bonds, and dividend-paying stocks. Security selection contributed the most to outperformance, particularly within the portfolio s multi-sector fixed income strategy.

for College The for College generated a single-digit return but underperformed its weighted benchmark for the 2 months ending June 30, 207. The portfolio invests in a diversified blend of fixed income securities, representing about 80% of assets. The remaining allocation is in stocks, mostly invested in the Index 500 Fund, which tracks the performance of the S&P 500 Index. This structure is designed to allow investors to generate growth in their college savings accounts while minimizing the risk of principal loss through a combination of diversification and conservative fixed income investments. Security selection detracted from relative performance. Roughly half of the portfolio s fixed income allocation is invested in the Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund, which holds short- and intermediate-term, investment-grade, inflation-linked securities. This fund detracted from relative returns amid a difficult environment for inflation-protected bonds due to low inflation readings and falling inflation expectations over the past year.

The generated a double-digit return and performed in line with its weighted benchmark for the 2 months ending June 30, 207. The portfolio s focus is long-term capital appreciation. It invests in a diversified selection of U.S. and international stocks, including emerging markets. Its largest allocation is in the Index 500 Fund, which tracks the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Security selection in U.S. large-cap stocks contributed the most to the portfolio s outperformance. Within U.S. large-cap stocks, growth and value portfolios outpaced their respective style-specific benchmarks, with growth outperforming value.

Total Market Index The Total Market Index generated a double-digit return and performed in line with its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index, for the 2 months ending June 30, 207. The portfolio provides exposure to the entire U.S. stock market through investment in the Total Market Index Fund. Because this is a passively managed index fund, its sector allocations mirror those of its benchmark. As such, changes in the fund s sector diversification and other characteristics reflect changes in the composition of its respective benchmark rather than strategic shifts made by an active investment manager. The Total Market Index Fund represents the entire U.S. stock market and offers broad exposure to large-, mid-, small-, and micro-cap companies. Stocks in the S&P 500 represent a substantial majority of the fund s value. Over the past 2 months, U.S. stocks soared to record levels as corporate earnings recovered and investors pinned their hopes on tax cuts, deregulation, and other business-friendly policies following Donald Trump s presidential election victory. The S&P 500 Index rose to record levels through June.

Fixed Income The Fixed Income generated a single-digit return and outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, for the 2 months ending June 30, 207. The portfolio invests in the Spectrum Income Fund, which holds an array of fixed income funds and an incomeoriented stock fund. This allocation blends core investment-grade bonds that are included in the benchmark with out-of-benchmark securities from diversifying sectors, including high yield bonds, non-u.s. dollar-denominated bonds, emerging markets bonds, and dividend-paying stocks. The inclusion of diversifying sectors that are not part of the benchmark contributed the most to outperformance. Specifically, the portfolio s high yield bonds, dividendpaying stocks, and emerging markets bonds did well over the year as strong investor demand for higher-yielding securities caused these asset classes to outperform the benchmark. Security selection within the underlying portfolios, most of which outpaced their respective style-specific benchmarks, helped relative performance. Security selection in emerging markets bonds and dividend-paying stocks contributed the most. Tactical decisions to overweight and underweight asset classes lifted relative returns. Our underweight allocations to long-term U.S. Treasuries and non- U.S. dollar bonds contributed to relative performance, as did our overweight allocations to high yield and floating rate bonds.

Money Market The Money Market posted a near-flat return for the 2 months ending June 30, 207, reflecting the low-rate environment that prevailed for most of the period. The portfolio underperformed its benchmark, the Citigroup 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. The portfolio invests in the U.S. Treasury Money Fund, which invests in shortterm Treasury securities and other U.S. government obligations. This fund is a high-quality, diversified portfolio whose primary aim is providing liquidity and stability of principal for investors. Over the past 2 months, the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark fed funds rate three times: in December 206, followed by increases in March and June 207. These successive rate hikes helped lift money market yields above the near-zero percent levels where they have long been anchored. Even so, continued strong demand for short-term, high-quality investments put downward pressure on yields over the period.
