Bills Move Forward to Increase Access to Need-Based Financial Aid for All Washington Students

The House and Senate both advanced legislation yesterday to provide access to the state’s Opportunity Scholarship and College Bound Scholarship for low-income Washington residents regardless of their immigration status. The Legislature is also considering a bill this session to expand eligibility to the State Need Grant, the Washington’s largest need-based financial aid program. For additional information about these bills and their potential impacts for Western students, you can find an update from WWU’s Office of Government Relations here.
