How to Use Your Account | Washington College Savings Plans

Manage your account
All of the information about your GET or DreamAhead accounts, such as settings, transaction activity, and tax statements, are available securely when you log in to your account. You can make updates to basic info at any time from your profile or account settings so that everything is up to date.
Add money
You can seamlessly and securely connect your GET or DreamAhead account to one or more bank accounts, to easily automate and regulate your contributions. After a minimum opening GET contribution of one unit (at the current unit price), units can be purchased in partial increments up to a maximum of 800 units. You can open a DreamAhead account with as little as $25.00, and subsequent contributions can be as little as $5.00. The combined contribution limit, whether you are participating in GET, DreamAhead, or both, is $500,000.

Access your money
When you need to use GET units or DreamAhead funds to pay for education expenses, you can either request the transaction through your online account access, or fill out a simple form. GET and DreamAhead funds can be used for a variety of qualified education expenses, including tuition, fees, room and board, books, computers and more. Keep in mind that the earnings portion of any withdrawal used for non-eligible expenses may incur tax penalties. The last date to submit direct payment requests to colleges from your GET account for 2023 is Friday December 15.
