It's easier than ever to open a MET--

Start Small, Save Now--Open your MET with as little as $25!

The Michigan Education Trust (MET) is Michigan's 529 prepaid tuition savings program. It allows parents, grandparents, businesses and others to pay for future education at today's price. MET is easy to set up, easy to use and, most important, an easy way to save. MET is one of the smartest investments you can make in a child, and with MET's age-based pricing, the earlier families invest, the more they can save!
