Need Financial Aid for College or Apprenticeships?
Be sure to attend our Financial Aid Night at 6:30pm on November 4th
to learn all about Financial Aid!
The FAFSA (The Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and the WASFA (The Washington Application for State Financial Aid) opened October 1st!
Students pursuing post-secondary education or training should fill out the FAFSA or WASFA. The WASFA is state financial aid for undocumented students and other select applicants. Not sure which one to fill out? See if the WASFA is for you.
