Jumpstart Your College Savings GOALS!
Attend Our Virtual College Savings Events and Put a Plan in Place…
We can’t believe summer is halfway over! Before you know it, school will be starting again and that’s why now is a great time to get a jumpstart on your college savings goals.
The Michigan Education Trust (MET) is a 529 educational savings plan established in 1988 in an effort to help residents lock-in tuition at the current price. In 2000, the State expanded its options for residents by adding the Michigan Education Savings Program (MESP). MESP is a direct-sold 529 college savings plan and is managed by TIAA, Tuition Financing Incorporated.
What the webinars will cover:
* The benefits of using a 529 as your college savings vehicle
* What you need to know about both MET and MESP programs
* Where you can use your MET or MESP savings
* How the MI income tax deduction works
* How to get started with the right plan for your family
