Early this week the Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET) committee met to deter unit costs of Washington’s prepaid tuition program.

As of May 1, the price of one GET unit will increase from $101 to $117. 

The Committee is increasing the unit price beyond the 14 percent Washington universities and colleges are expected to raise tuition to reflect future investment and tuition expectations.

In addition, the Committee also recognized that enrollment this academic year (09-10) is the second largest in the program’s 12 year history and investment returns have picked up during the last quarter.
