Mission and Leadership

Welcome to the Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET) website. GET is Washington's 529 prepaid college tuition plan, helping families statewide save for their child's college education. Since our state legislators initiated this program in 1998, over 135,000 families have opened accounts and more than 22,000 students have attended colleges nationwide. With GET your savings are guaranteed by state law to keep pace with rising tuition, and that brings you peace of mind.

GET is administered by the Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board with oversight from the GET Committee, which meets quarterly to review policies, pricing and investments. The Washington State Investment Board manages the GET fund, which is now valued at over $1.7 billion. It's a self-sustaining program which has become one of the fastest growing prepaid tuition plans in the country. We hope you will find the information you need on our site to start your family saving for college. If we can assist you further, please call our Customer Service Department at 1.800.955.2318. We're here to help!
