How a MET Prepaid Tuition Contract Locks in a Future College Education at today's prices (09-14-25)

In this episode, iHeartRadio host Phil Tower welcomes Diane Brewer, Executive Director of MET, to the program as MET is commemorating September as National College Savings Month.

This year marks the first Michigan College Savings Month since MET lowered its minimum contribution to just $25 to support more Michigan families in starting to save for their child’s future education. The change opens the door for more families to take advantage of MET’s prepaid tuition benefits without the previous requirement of purchasing at least one credit hour upfront. With an initial contribution of just $25, families can begin building a secure pathway to future college costs and invest in their child’s dreams sooner. MET is also expanding outreach through free webinars that explain options, tax advantages, and strategies for maximizing savings.
Since its inception in 1988, MET, the nation’s first 529 prepaid tuition program, has helped thousands of Michigan students.
