MET has been helping families save for their children's college for 35 years. To celebrate-- and to renew that dedication-- MET will give $15,000 in prepaid tuition to 100 lucky children! Children ages 0-5 are eligible to win.
Don't wait to enter! $15,000 in college savings is life changing!
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. To help families start saving earlier for their child's future education, we are returning to a discounted, age-based pricing structure for the first time in more than a decade. Switching to a discounted, age-based pricing structure--as opposed to charging one price across all ages--means families will realize significant savings the earlier they start saving with MET.
Enrollment is open through September 30, 2022.
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:
