Don't turn GET program into a bait and switch
Washington families that are counting on the GET program to pay for college, may not get what they thought they were getting when they signed up.
Guaranteed Education Tuition allows families to buy credits for future tuition. One hundred GET credits equals one year of tuition at the state school of your choice -- assuming you get admitted.
The idea is for parents to start planning for college early and buy credits over time so that when their baby leaves the nest, he can fly right on over to a state school.
It's the prepay plan and it's a pretty good deal given the rising cost of education.
