Graduate Yelm!
Partners in Our Network
January 17, 2020
Each student will be on a path (starting in kindergarten)
to graduation, continuing education and work.
GRADUATION READINESS
Removing the financial barrier to continuing education, starts with completing the FAFSA and WASFA. These sites are completely confidential and all personal information is protected. Financial aid can be used for expenses that are directly related to education, such as tuition, fees, transportation, books, room and board, supplies and child care. We want 100% of our students to have access to education and training and that starts with 100% of them removing money as a barrier.
Tips for Partners:
- Ask a student if they know what FAFSA/WASFA is?
- Talk with your employees with students about access to financial aid resources.
- Assist at a HS financial aid night.
90% of students who complete the FAFSA enroll in post-secondary education within 12 months after HS graduation. Let's open doors of opportunity for our students!
PARTNER OPPORTUNITIES
Help students see math in action by hosting a station in the Math for Life event. Thurston County Chamber coordinates this event, and you don't have to be a member. Just a business that wants to help students see the connection to math in the work place. Students answer a question and get a stamp from their visit. Students earn medals and chances for prizes.
