Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA)
On February 26, 2014, Governor Jay Inslee signed into law the REAL Hope Act (SB 6523), also known as the Washington Dream Act. Beginning with the 2014 – 15 academic year, this new law expands eligibility for the Washington State Need Grant to non-citizens who meet the program’s eligibility requirements in addition to HB1079. For HB1079 eligibility requirements visit the HB1079 page.
*Please note that the information provided by the student to the institution and the WASFA is protected and will not be shared with a third party, since it is protected through FERPA.
Important! For every academic year you plan to be in college you must submit an application if you would like to receive financial assistance.
