Trump To Visit GA High School To Tout Student Investment Program

MARIETTA, GA — President Donald Trump is set to visit a Georgia high school next week to tout his Trump Accounts initiative, according to a media report.

Trump will visit Wheeler High School on Wednesday to speak about the program he recently launched, the White House told WSB-TV.

The event will be held at 2 p.m. at the Holt Road school, according to The White House.

Cobb County Schools notified families in an email and press release Thursday evening.

Online entry tickets can be secured; however, White House officials warned tickets are available on a first come, first served basis. Tickets do not guarantee people will be able to enter the event, according to The White House.

"The visit provides an opportunity to showcase the academic excellence, exceptional educators and high-achieving students that have made Cobb Schools a national leader in public education," school officials said in the release.

Trump Accounts are tax-advantaged investment accounts created for minors. The program launched on July 4, Independence Day.

All Georgia parents of newborns, regardless of their financial circumstances, can open a “Trump Account” to help save and build wealth for many of the expenses that come with adulthood. The plan applies to children born through the calendar years of the Trump administration.

The public-private program gives select newborns a $1,000 federal starter contribution and allows parents, relatives, employers, local governments, charities, and philanthropies to add money over time.

Thanks to a historic donation announced in December 2025 by billionaires Michael and Susan Dell, some children 10 and younger could receive $250 in seed money if their parents open an account. That money is reserved for kids who live in ZIP codes with a median family income of $150,000 or less and who will not get the $1,000 seed money from the Treasury.

The federal pilot contribution applies to children born from Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2028. Families may also open accounts for older children, as long as the child is a U.S. citizen, has a valid Social Security number, and is under 18.

The money must go into low-cost U.S. equity index funds that follow the broader stock market. Those funds could include funds tied to the S&P 500 or similar broad-market indexes.

Young account holders generally cannot withdraw the money until they turn 18. After that, withdrawals may be limited to approved uses, such as college costs, business startup expenses or a home down payment.

Critics say the accounts do not address the needs children face in their earliest years, when poverty, food insecurity, housing instability and lack of health care can have long-term consequences.

“President Trump is giving every American child a head start in life, a nest egg to grow up with and a real stake in their own future through Trump Accounts,” White House spokeswoman Liz Huston said in the news release.
