Guarantee that you won't have to worry

Stop tuition inflation

GET works on a unit system, with 100 units equal to one year of resident undergraduate tuition and state-mandated fees at the most expensive Washington public university, either the University of Washington or Washington State University.

The state guarantees that if you buy one year of college tuition today (100 GET units), you'll have one year of college tuition when your child is ready for college -- even if tuition doubles or triples. You can buy between 1 and 500 GET units for each child.

A guarantee backed by state law
GET's tuition guarantee is backed by the full faith and credit of the State of Washington. That means if future tuition increases ever require the program to pay out more money than it has available, the Legislature is required by state law to provide funding to cover the shortfall.  GET is one of only a few state 529 plans in the country with a guarantee in state law.
