Workforce Education Investment Act Exciting News!!!!!
The Workforce Education Investment Act created a new financial aid program, called Washington College Grant, to tear down financial barriers for today’s students!!
Starting fall 2020, a family of four making $50,500 or less will receive a full financial aid award — enough to fully cover the cost of tuition at any Washington public college or university. The financial aid extends to families who earn all the way up to the state’s median family income, which is now about $92,000; as family incomes go up, award levels go down. Overall, it makes college more accessible to more than 110,000 students a year.
The grant program will be fully funded, which means no more waitlists. Eligible students are guaranteed financial aid even if they wait until later in the year to fill out their financial aid applications.
Another benefit: The Washington College grant is “first in.” Students can still get other types of financial aid, like the federal Pell Grant (free money), without a reduction in their state financial aid award. This creates a higher combined amount, allowing students to cover other living expenses — like child care, transportation, utilities and rent — which is just as important to their success as paying the tuition bill.
