GET - Helping Families Save for College
The Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET) program is Washington's 529 prepaid college tuition plan. Families can prepay for their child's college tuition today and have peace of mind knowing that the value of their account is guaranteed by the state to keep pace with rising college tuition. Since GET began in 1998, families have opened more than 109,600 accounts.
The state guarantees that 100 GET units will cover one year of resident undergraduate tuition and state-mandated fees at the most expensive Washington public university, either the University of Washington or Washington State University. GET accounts can be used at nearly any public or private college in the country. Flexible plans offer convenient options for parents.
Families can buy between one and 500 units per child, and the account will benefit from tax-free growth and withdrawals. To date, 16,300 students have used their GET accounts in all 50 states.

GET Program Administration
The Higher Education Coordinating Board administers the GET program while the State Investment Board oversees its investments.
A five-member committee establishes the policies of the program and sets the price of the GET unit, currently $101.
