The College Bound Scholarship is a commitment of state financial aid to cover estimated tuition (at comparable public colleges), some fees and a small book allowance. To qualify, students must have completed a College Bound Scholarship application in 7th/8th grade and meet income eligibility requirements as they enroll in college by completing the FAFSA or WASFA. Additionally, students must graduate from a Washington high school or approved home school program with at least a 2.0 and enroll in college within 1 year of high school graduation.
