Washington College Grant (WA Grant) gives more money to more people for more kinds of education and training beyond high school. WA Grant is not reserved for valedictorians or athletes—it is available to all eligible Washington residents, including undocumented students. If you meet the program and income requirements, you have money waiting for you.
WA Grant can help you access many types of education and training:

WA Grant amounts vary based on income, family size, and program cost. This year, an eligible student from a family of four with income of $78,500 or less per year can get a full award. What does that mean? For example, public college tuition would likely be free for a family with three children and a single parent making $37 per hour. For middle-income families, grant amounts are lower. But even someone from a family of four making up to $120,500 per year can get some money to help pay for college or training—and income limits will be even higher for 2025-26.
Students and families can use the financial aid calculator to estimate their potential WA Grant award, but the only way to know for sure how much you can get is to apply for financial aid. Applications for the 2025-26 academic year are now open.
