Why an MESP account?

Your child has options
For MI taxpayers savings can be applied to any accredited college or university across the country and abroad, trade schools and even professional schools and graduate schools.
You have more control
You're never locked in and can withdraw your funds for any reason at any time.2
You enjoy more flexibility
Funds in your child's account are transferable to another eligible family member, which includes siblings, stepchildren, parents... even cousins.
Friends and family can contribute
Once your account is set up, our Ugift® service offers a convenient way to give, receive and make special contribution requests.
