Washington College Bound ScholarshipOverviewThis four-year scholarship covers the cost of college tuition and fees, plus a $500 book stipend, for low-income students who sign a pledge in 7th or 8th grade promising to graduate from high school and demonstrate good citizenship. The College Bound Scholarship provides hope and incentive for students and families who otherwise might not consider college as an option because of its cost. Reason for the ProgramFar too few students from low-income families participate and succeed in postsecondary education in Washington. Yet, this group represents the most rapidly growing segment of K-12 students. Up to 33 percent of the 2018 high school graduating class will be under-represented students of color or those from low-income families. The College Bound Scholarship aims to rectify this situation.
