FAFSA or WASFA?

WHAT IS FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID?

There are three categories of federal student aid: grants, work-study and loans. Costs covered may include: tuition & fees, room & board, books & supplies, and transportation.

STATE FINANCIAL AID FOR DREAMERS

Eligibility for several Washington State financial aid programs have expanded to include students who are ineligible for federal financial aid due to immigration status. Students who meet individual program, income, or residency requirements for the State Need Grant, the College Bound Scholarship, State Work Study, or Passport Scholarship should complete the free WASFA (Washington Application for State Financial Aid) to apply for state financial aid.
