On February 26, 2014, Governor Jay Inslee signed into law the REAL Hope Act (SB 6523). This new law expanded eligibility for the Washington College Grant (formerly known as the State Need Grant) to non–citizens who qualify for in-state tuition under HB 1079 (and now SB 5194) and meet other eligibility requirements.
All undocumented students are eligible for our Merit-Based Scholarships, Costco Scholarship and Sullivan Leadership Award. For additional information/requirements on the above-mentioned scholarships, please see our scholarship page.
Washington State offers financial aid to students who are not eligible for federal financial aid because of immigration status. Students only have to fill out one application, either the FAFSA or WASFA depending on their immigration status. If a student is undocumented or has DACA, the WASFA might be the best application to fill out.
