The College Bound Scholarship program is an early commitment of state financial aid to eligible students who sign up in middle school and fulfill the scholarship pledge.

As part of the College Bound sign-up process, students pledge to:

• Graduate from a Washington State high school.

• Have no felony convictions.

• Apply for financial aid by completing the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or WASFA (Washington Application for State Financial Aid).

In order to receive the scholarship, students must fulfill the pledge and :

• Be income eligible, as determined by their college with the information from their FAFSA or WASFA.

• Be accepted to an eligible college and begin attending within one year of high school graduation.

• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, or have DACA status.
