parents peace of mind in knowing just how far today's dollars will go toward
future college tuition.
Those who choose to purchase a contract at one of the community enrollment
sessions will have their $25 contract-processing fee waived. Purchasers will
need social security numbers for themselves, their child, and any third party
named on the contract, along with a check or money order. For more information,
call (800) 638-4543.
"There is no time like the present to start saving for your children's future,"
said State Treasurer Robert J. Kleine. "Parents can secure the MET guarantee of
a college education for their child at today's tuition prices. A MET contract
protects against future tuition increases and provides access to higher
education that is so important in securing the best-paying jobs of the future."
MET contracts can be purchased in one-semester increments. Easy payment options
are available, and the total MET contract price, including enrollment fees,
qualifies for a Michigan income tax deduction. Enrollments are also accepted
online or by mail.
Since its debut in 1988 as the nation's first guaranteed tuition program, MET
has sold more than 87,000 contracts and now has nearly $1 billion in assets. Not
only are MET contracts portable to Michigan private and out-of-state colleges
and universities, they may be transferred to other eligible family members.
Since 1988, well over 90 percent of high school graduates with MET contracts
have gone on to attend a college or university. Visit
