More Students Are Now Eligible for the Washington College Grant

The new Washington College Grant (WCG) gives more money to more students for more kinds of education after high school. Whatever you want to do next—from welding to nursing, from English to computer science—WCG can help you pay for college and training.

Washington College Grant can help you access many types of education and training:

  • Public and private colleges and universities

  • Workforce and training programs

  • Approved apprenticeship programs

WCG is not reserved for valedictorians or athletes. If you meet the eligibility requirements, you have money waiting for you. An eligible student from a family of four making up to around $97,000 per year can receive some money for their education.

Amounts vary based on income, family size, and the school or program attended. Students and families can use the financial aid calculator to estimate their potential WCG award, but the only way to know for sure whether you qualify is to apply for financial aid. Applications for the 2021-22 academic year are now open.

Washington College Grant makes education and training beyond high school affordable. Learn more at wsac.wa.gov/WCG.
