Pay for Future Education at Today's Price
You've been thinking about it, and now is the time to do it. The Michigan Education Trust (MET) is here to help make saving for college easier. Avoid rising tuition rates and save on college tuition by buying college credits at today's price with a MET 529 prepaid tuition savings program. Give the gift that will last a lifetime--the gift of education. Prices are valid through January 31, 2024.
Governor Whitmer has declared May 22 to May 29, 529 Awareness Week. In honor of her proclamation, MET is waiving the $25 online enrollment fee for new MET contracts opened between May 22, 2023 and June 2, 2023. Use coupon code 529DAY23 during online enrollment to waive the fee.
MET is a 529 prepaid tuition savings program which allows you to pay for future higher education at today's price. MET is flexible, transferable and even refundable. MET is specific to tuition, it does not pay for room and board or books. Depending on the beneficiary's choices, MET provides:
- Prepaid tuition and mandatory fees at any Michigan public university and community college upon admission.
- Funds from a terminated METs can be directed to a Michigan independent (private), out-of-state college or trade school.
- Refunds can be made if a beneficiary decides not to attend college.
