Passport to Apprenticeship Pathway

Supporting You on Your Career Journey

The Passport to Careers program is a publicly-funded scholarship and support program that helps Washington students—specifically those who have been in various types of foster care or who have experienced unaccompanied homelessness—prepare for careers.  Help includes money to put toward the costs of earning a college certificate or degree or job training through a pre-apprenticeship or apprenticeship program. Help also includes experts to help answer your questions and navigate your pathway.

If you are eligible, you have the choice of two postsecondary pathways: one leads to a college degree or certificate, and one leads to an apprenticeship or pre-apprenticeship program.

What costs does the Passport to Apprenticeship financial assistance cover?

The Passport to Apprenticeship Opportunities pathway will help with costs if you are in an eligible apprenticeship or pre-apprenticeship program, including tuition for classes, fees, transportation, work clothes, rain gear, boots, occupation-related tools, and emergency assistance.

Eligibility Requirements


You are eligible for Passport to Apprenticeship if you:

  • Experienced state, federal or tribal foster care in Washington after the age of 13, or unaccompanied homelessness during the prior academic year or later
  • Are enrolled (or will enroll) at least half-time in an eligible college or registered pre-apprenticeship or apprenticeship program by your 21st birthday
  • Maintain Washington residency
  • Are working toward a certificate, associate or first bachelor’s degree
