Who is eligible for College Bound?

What is College Bound?

  • College Bound is an early commitment of state financial aid, like the Washington College Grant, to help pay for college and technical school.  
  • Students who meet the program requirements receive the average cost of tuition (at public college rates), some fees, and a small amount for books.  
  • There are 65+ colleges, universities, and technical schools in Washington for students who meet the eligibility requirements when they graduate high school.  

What are the College Bound requirements?  

  • You must graduate with a cumulative 2.0 GPA or higher if you plan to attend a four-year public or private college directly after high school.  
    • Starting fall 2023: No high school GPA requirement if you plan to attend a community college or technical school! Please confirm with our school if our district requires a certain GPA to graduate.
  • Have no felony convictions, and  
  • Meet income requirements each year in college or training when you apply for financial aid starting your senior year in high school.
