A program that allows Washingtonians to prepay college tuition for their kids at today's prices will start its annual open enrollment today.

On Thursday, Tri-City parents can visit a free workshop on the state's Guaranteed Education Tuition -- or GET -- program.

The workshop will explain what the program is, when parents should start paying in to it and what other options are out there to pay for college.

The free workshop will be at Ridgeview Elementary School in Kennewick at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Reserve a spot by calling 222-5080 or going to communityed.ksd.org.
