WSOS applications are opening soon!
Supporting Washington students’ futures is an investment in the health of our own. WSOS is uniquely poised to create opportunities for those who have historically been left out navigate pandemic-related obstacles and go on to advance their education.
We can't do it alone. We need partners like you to help us reach eligible students across the state to ensure they submit a great WSOS application. Visit our partners webpageto access resources available to you!
