Payment Plans

• Buy units whenever you want and contribute any amount of money you choose.
• Buy between 1 and 500 units, including partial units, for each child.
• Pay the unit price in effect at the time we receive your payment. The unit price is set annually, and may also be adjusted once annually if needed. 

• Lock in a monthly payment that stays the same throughout the term of your contract.
• Select a contract between 50 and 500 units for each child. 
• Lock in the current unit price. Your contract includes a 7.5 percent finance charge.*

To use your units, your contract must be paid in full and your account must have been open for at least two calendar years.

Can't decide? Save through both plans
Open a Custom Monthly Plan account and buy Lump Sum units at any time. When you mail us a check, tell us whether to apply the money to your Custom Monthly payments or a Lump Sum purchase.

The GET unit price includes a premium over current tuition. Consequently, you should plan to hold your units for at least four years before you can expect to see any real gain.

*The 7.5% finance charge is based on the total cost of contracted units and is compounded annually over the life of the contract. Finance charges have been factored into Custom Monthly Plan payment amounts and are not reduced if the contract is paid off early. Total finance charges may be reduced by shortening the term length or by reducing the number of units in the contract.

Payment coupons

• We send you a book of payment coupons when you enroll unless you set up automatic withdrawal or payroll deduction.
• You send us a payment coupon with your check or money order by the 15th day of every month for the Custom Monthly Plan or whenever you have a little extra cash for the Lump Sum Plan.
• If you don't have a coupon, note your account number in the memo field on your check. Make checks payable to GET.

• Money is withdrawn automatically from your bank or credit union account and deposited into your GET account. 
• To set up withdrawals, complete an automatic withdrawal authorization form.
• Payments will come out of your bank or credit union account on the 15th day of each month.

• Money is deducted from your paycheck and deposited into your GET account.
• If your employer participates in GET payroll deduction, simply complete the automatic payroll deduction form.
