Helping Families Save for College

The Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET) program is Washington's 529 prepaid college tuition plan. Families can prepay for their children's college tuition today and have peace of mind knowing that the value of their accounts is guaranteed by the state to keep pace with rising college tuition. Since GET began in 1998, families have opened more than 106,400 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.

Families can buy between one and 500 units, which students can use at nearly any public or private college in the country. To date, 13,313 students have used GET accounts.

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.
