Affording an Education


“We live in a world where knowledge is developing at an ever-accelerating rate. Drink deeply from this ever-springing well of wisdom and human experience.”
—Gordon B. Hinckley, Teachings of Gordon B. Hinckley (1997), 171

To become self-reliant in education, we should:
Study the scriptures and other good books.
Improve our ability to read, write, and do basic mathematics.
Learn to communicate effectively with others.
Obtain formal education or equivalent training necessary for employment.

Take advantage of opportunities to gain more knowledge.

Helping our children to receive the education they will need to be self-reliant gets more and more expensive every year. For some it can seem impossible, but there is a solution.

Washington offers GET, Guaranteed Education Tuition. GET is Washington's 529 plan, helping families save for college. With GET, your account is guaranteed to keep pace with rising tuition and you can use it at nearly any public or private college in the country.
