  • Application form
Additional Information: The College Bound Scholarship program is an early commitment of state financial aid to eligible students who sign up in middle school and fulfill the pledge. The program encourages students who might not consider college because of the cost to dream big and continue their education beyond high school. When eligible students apply, they promise to: graduate from a Washington high school or home school with a 2.0 grade point average or higher; be a good citizen and not be convicted of a felony; apply to an eligible college and file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in a timely manner. When the student graduates from high school, his/her family's income must fall within 65 percent of the state's median family income. Eligibility will be determined when the student completes the FAFSA when he/she applies for college.

Award Amount: The College Bound Scholarship will combine with other state financial aid to cover the average tuition (at comparable public colleges), some fees, and a small book allowance. Additional financial aid for college expenses beyond tuition will likely be offered. This additional aid may be in the form of federal grants, work-study, scholarships, and loans.  The total dollars awarded for this scholarship is $1,846.
