Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET)

The Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET) program is a unique 529 college savings plan offered by Washington state. Unlike traditional investment-based plans, GET allows families to pre-purchase future college tuition credits at today's prices. This means that participants can secure tuition costs at Washington public colleges and universities, protecting against potential tuition inflation. GET credits can be used at both in-state and out-of-state institutions, and the program guarantees that one credit will cover one percent of the resident undergraduate tuition and state-mandated fees at Washington's most expensive public university. This plan provides families with a stable and predictable way to save for higher education expenses, eliminating uncertainties associated with fluctuating tuition costs.
