Luke Minor is the Director of WA529, Washington State’s College Savings plans. The 2 programs: GET is still a good option, and the new Dream Ahead college investment plan is the option for folks choosing to have the funds work in ‘the market’. These funds can be used anywhere in the country, at most educational institutions, including technical schools and even now pay off student loans. Students who know there’s a goal and plan for them post high school have shown they perform better in school.
