📊 Gallup study highlights the impact of cost on college completion 📊 The recent Gallup study reveals that cost and work conflicts are the leading reasons students are dropping out of college. #FinancialAid plays a critical role in helping students achieve their educational goals.

The WA College Grant is one of the most generous financial aid programs in the country and can be applied to certificate programs, job training, apprenticeships, or college. Our goal is to ensure that 70% of WA students earn a post-high school credential by the high school class of 2030. Let's make this a reality by encouraging students to #DoTheFAFSA!
