The Washington College Grant and Financial Aid Updates – Passport to Careers State Conference 2020
October 28, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:15 pm
Washington State now has more opportunities than ever before for students to access state financial aid. The new Washington College Grant has expanded eligibility and access to state aid for students in Washington. Learn more about financial aid updates and how you can support students as they go through the financial aid process.
Our session will explore what best practices and resources have been successful at increasing financial aid completion rates across the state, including the 12th Year Campaign. There will be an overview of the financial aid basics and both the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and the WASFA (Washington Application for State Financial Aid).
At the end of the workshop, attendees will have learned how to understand Washington State financial aid opportunities, and how students can access them.
Presented by Yokiko Hayashi-Saguil of the Washington Student Achievement Council.
