Why should your school partner with MET?

All schools in Michigan are eligible to be a MET School Partner at no cost. Benefits of the program:

  • MET will provide schools with free resources, including flyers, brochures, in-person, or virtual college savings presentations, etc.
  • Schools can request a visit from MET’s owl mascot Whoodini. Whoodini can attend back-to-school picnics, Kindergarten Round-Up, PTA events, field day, etc.
  • Schools can request MET swag for use at school events. Swag includes pencils, bookmarks, temporary tattoos and more.
  • Help empower families of young children to learn how they can save for their loved-one's future education with a MET 529 prepaid tuition savings program.

For school partnership questions, please contact Heather Barthelmes at 517-241-9127 or BarthelmesH@Michigan.gov.
