| Contest Offers Michigan Residents Chance at Tuition-Free Semester of College |
|
| |
 The Michigan Education Trust (MET) prepaid tuition program is calling on all adults in the state to enter to win a tuition-free semester at any Michigan public college or university. Michigan residents 18 years of age and older can enter to win a one-semester, Full Benefits MET contract. MET contracts are also portable to Michigan private and out-of-state institutions.
Entries are being accepted now through Aug. 31, 2010, at MET's Web site SETwithMET.com. MET will announce the winner of the random drawing during College Savings Month next September.
"This contest is a great way to remind families about the importance of planning now for future college expenses," said State Treasurer Robert J. Kleine. "We encourage people entering to win to take a moment to learn more about MET and the many benefits of pre-paying for college tuition. With MET, you get tomorrow's tuition at today's prices and take the guesswork out of saving for your child's future education."
No purchase is necessary to win the MET semester giveaway. The winner will have 60 days from notification to name a beneficiary. The beneficiary does not need to be related to the winner, but must be a Michigan resident and must not have four years of MET already purchased.
Since its debut in 1988 as the nation's first prepaid tuition program, MET has sold more than 91,000 contracts. Not only are MET contracts portable to Michigan private and out-of-state colleges and universities, they may be transferred to other eligible family members. Since 1988, more than 90 percent of high school graduates with MET contracts have gone on to attend a college or university.
Registrants can visit SETwithMET.com or call 1-800-MET-4-KID (800-638-4543) for all contest rules and more information about MET contracts. Return to Top |

 Ninety-five (95) percent of the businesses in Macomb County are defined as a "small business" - one that employs fewer than 50 people. Every day, the Macomb County Department of Planning & Economic Development works to help these businesses grow and assists entrepreneurs in starting their own small businesses.
Since 1983, MCPED has been a regional host to the Macomb County Small Business & Technology Development Center. Our office features four Certified Business Consultants who are prepared to work with you and your small business in a variety of areas including; marketing, financial analysis and planning, strategic planning, management and operations.
This professional staff has more than 65 years of combined experience dedicated to Macomb County's main street retail and world class manufacturing community. Last year, the Macomb County SBTDC assisted 665 small businesses across our region.
SBTDC's four key service areas include Training, Counseling, Research and Advocacy.
Training
The Macomb County SBTDC offers a number of classes and workshops catering to the needs of entrepreneurs. Many one-day seminars are held throughout Macomb County at a minimal fee. If you are looking for more comprehensive training, entrepreneurship classes are offered in conjunction with Macomb Community College's Continuing Education Division.
Counseling
The Macomb County SBTDC also provides free, confidential business counseling assistance. This service allows you to schedule an appointment to meet one-on-one with a certified business consultant to address your specific needs. Business Plan development, marketing plans, sources of financing, financial analysis and general management issues are areas of expertise that reside in the center.
Research
A distinct advantage that the SBTDC enjoys through its state and national affiliations, and in being hosted by the Macomb County Department of Planning and Economic Development, is its immediate access to vast resources for gathering and analyzing market research, economic and demographic data. The benefit to you is that these tools allow you to track business and industry data and enhance your decision-making ability as you consider the feasibility of business opportunities or deliberate regarding site locations.
