How do you apply for the College Bound Scholarship?

I'm a junior and trying to figure out how to apply for the College Bound Scholarship. I think I might qualify, but I'm unsure about the detailed application process and deadlines. Can anyone share how they applied or any important tips?

Sure, I'd be happy to give an overview of the College Bound Scholarship application process.

The first thing to know about the College Bound Scholarship is that the application is typically completed during middle school, specifically in the 7th or 8th grade, and the deadline is usually by June 30th of the student's 8th grade year. Since you mentioned you're a junior, if you haven't applied yet, you might not be eligible. However, don't lose heart! There are certainly many other scholarships you can explore and apply for.

Now, if you had applied in middle school or have younger siblings who could take advantage of this, the first step to apply for this scholarship program would be to determine eligibility. The scholarship is generally available for students from low-income families in the state of Washington, who promise to graduate from high school with at least a 2.0 GPA and have no felony convictions.

After eligibility is confirmed, the application involves completing the application form (online or paper) with details about the student and the family. It is important to take your time with the form to ensure all details are accurate. A guardian's signature is typically required.

Remember, after high school graduation, to actually secure the scholarship, you'd need to meet the promise by graduating with at least a 2.0 GPA, staying felony-free, applying to an eligible college and submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA) form as soon as possible in your senior year.

I hope this information helps and best of luck!
