Why This Matters

Washington State ranks 47th-48th in FAFSA completion, meaning thousands of students miss out on financial aid every year. The Washington College Grant alone provides up to $12,000+ per year, but many eligible students never apply because the process seems too complicated.

This tool was created to help Washington students and families navigate the financial aid process with confidence. Whether you're a U.S. citizen filling out FAFSA or an undocumented student using WASFA, we're here to guide you every step of the way.
