For tens of thousands of students across the state, the Washington College Grant (WA Grant) is helping those dreams come true. It's Washington's generous, nation-leading student aid program that supports students through all sorts of career pathways.
The WA Grant is not just for low-income families; about half of Washington families are eligible. It’s not just for college; it covers career training and apprenticeships, too. It goes further than federal aid; students from undocumented families can benefit. It’s not just for tuition; the WA Grant stacks with scholarships to help cover books, housing, and other costs.
The WA Grant is the most generous student financial aid program in the nation, and it changes lives for the better. But many families miss out by not completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
On Tuesday in Vancouver, Wash., Gov. Jay Inslee touted the program and urged families to complete the FAFSA.
