The Washington College Grant provides need-based financial aid to students from Washington’s lowest-income families pursuing postsecondary education.
Currently more than 65 institutions of higher education — public and private two-and four-year institutions — participate in the Washington College Grant program.
Eligibility is limited to a household income that is less than 70% of the state’s median household income (MFI). Students with incomes below 50% of MFI will get the maximum award amount.
