MICHIGAN EDUCATION TRUST

Michigan is kicking off a $1.5 million tuition giveaway in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Michigan Education Trust (MET), Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced Thursday.

Michigan is launching a $1.5 million college giveaway for students under the age of five.

With rising tuition costs across the nation, it’s no surprise that families want to get a head start on saving for when their children go off to college.

Under Michigan’s new sweepstakes, residents age 18 and older who have received one dose of vaccine are eligible to register for a combined total of $5 million in cash giveaways.

College Savings Month holds no special meaning for Alicia and Barry Pearlman. So while a national spotlight will focus on saving for higher education throughout September, which is College Savings Month, the Pearlmans instead will take comfort in knowing thats what theyve been doing all along. In September, in recognition of College Savings Month, MET is offering a $100 match on the first 300 contracts purchased, as well as waiving the $25 processing fee. We would have her tuition paid for, at least, and wouldnt have to worry about it.The decision also paid off financially. That let the Pearlmans continue with their strategy of investing in college savings on essentially a monthly basis.
