College Goal Sunday
Most students rely on financial aid to make attending college a reality. Put your hands on some cash by filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Their workshops give you and your family free, on-site professional help with the FAFSA so you can get money for college. The FAFSA is the single-most important application for financial aid. It is required for most scholarships, grants, and loans. We strongly encourage you and your parents to attend College Goal Sunday together.* Because household financial information is needed to fill out the FAFSA, it's easier if you approach the process as a team. The workshops last for 3 hours and are staffed by volunteers and experts to help you and your family fill out the FAFSA.

Higher Education Coordinating Board: College Bound Scholarship
The College Bound Scholarship provides hope and incentive for students and families who otherwise might not consider college as an option because of its cost. It pays college expenses not covered by other financial aid programs. To be eligible, a Washington student must meet income requirements for the Free and Reduced Price Lunch program, be a foster youth, or be receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits. Students apply in 7th grade, and must be completely signed up by end of 8th grade.

FAFSA
Going to college?  Everyone needs to fill out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to obtain financial aid.  The FAFSA is a form that you fill out and send to the US Department of Education.  They calculate your eligibility for grants, loans, and general financial aid and send this information to you and your college in the form of a Student Aid Report (SAR). Learn more >
