This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Michigan Education Trust (MET) program, and in honor, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has announced a $1.5 million tuition giveaway. According to the governor’s office, 100 winners will each receive $15,000 in prepaid tuition.

“This life-changing giveaway is an awesome way to celebrate 35 years of helping Michigan families save for higher education,” says Governor Whitmer. “I applaud Treasurer Eubanks and the MET Board for making this opportunity possible, and I especially want to thank Governor Blanchard for his leadership and long-term vision that have left a remarkable legacy.”

There’s a limit of one entry per person, but multiple participants are allowed to enter on the same child’s behalf, according to the state.

“I would encourage any family thinking about saving for higher education to look into MET — as my parents did for me — and start today,” Whitmer adds.
