MET is a 529 Prepaid Tuition Plan which allows for the pre-purchase of tuition based on today's rates and then paid out at the future cost when the beneficiary is in college. Performance is often based upon tuition inflation. MET contracts are flexible, transferrable and even refundable. MET allows parents, grandparents and other family members to save for the future, offering financial peace of mind.
