With tuition expected to increase this fall at colleges and universities statewide, parents and grandparents have until July 31 to lock in tomorrow's tuition at today's rate with a Michigan Education Trust (MET) prepaid tuition contract.

Why act before July 31? To lock in your MET contract at this year's rates. Future contract costs will likely reflect tuition increases when pricing for the next enrollment period is set later this year. MET helps take the guesswork out of saving for college, because you know how far today's dollars will go toward future education.

The current MET enrollment period runs through July 31, 2007. MET contracts can be purchased in one-semester increments - all the way up to four years (eight semesters) of education. You can enroll online or by mail. Visit www.SETwithMET.com for enrollment information and an opportunity to win a free semester of college from MET. The winner will be announced during College Savings Month in September. Registrants must be 18 years of age or older. No purchase is necessary to win.

Since its debut in 1988 as the nation's first guaranteed tuition program, MET has sold more than 83,000 contracts with assets of nearly $1 billion. Not only are MET contracts portable to Michigan private and out-of-state colleges and universities, they may be transferred to other eligible family members. For more information visit www.SETwithMET.com or call 1-800-MET-4-KID (800-638-4543).
