The College Bound Scholarship is a financial aid program for 7th and 8th grade students who are eligible to participate in the free and reduced-price lunch program. It is designed to inspire students to begin making their college and career plans without worrying about the cost of attending college.
Eligible students sign a pledge promising to graduate from high school, maintain a 2.0 GPA and be good citizens. In exchange, the state of Washington will pay for their college tuition and books - for up to four years or until the student earns a bachelor's degree.
Eligibility
