The Michigan Education Trust, or MET, is holding an in-person enrollment session Saturday. It will be held at Ann Arbor’s Westgate Branch Library from 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM.
In February, MET announced it has lowered the minimum enrollment contribution to the tuition savings program to $25. This is the first in-person enrollment opportunity since then.
Marketing Manager Heather Barthelmess says lowering the minimum has been a game changer.
“We noticed a trend with people who really wanted to start saving, but they may have had multiple children, and they couldn’t get that first purchase to get their MET going. So, we thought a $25 buy-in would really be more accessible to more people and encourage them to start saving earlier.”
As an incentive, anyone who signs up during the Westgate session will receive a $100 bonus added to their account.
MET is a prepaid tuition savings plan that allows the purchase of future tuition at any of Michigan’s public universities and colleges at today’s rates.
