<p>Wrong you get back what ever you do not use, it’s your money. Depending when you signed up for the plan the way it works is you pay now for college and get today prices for tutition and board, so if you do not graduate high school till 2010 then when you go to college you pay today prices for tuition in 2010. </p>
<p>I did not sign my son up until a few years ago so I was not eligible to pay for the room and board fees, so I was only putting in tuition payments. But he now is getting 100% bright futures scholarship so we will get everything back
I paid in. (which will be used for room and board but at today prices)</p>
<p>If you started the plan early enough the money can be used for room and board at prices back then not todays prices.</p>
