How does transferring work for College Bound Scholarship recipients in Washington?

I'm in Washington and have the College Bound Scholarship, but I'm thinking of transferring to another college. Does anyone know how the transfer process works for this particular scholarship? Are there any specific steps or requirements I should be aware of?

Transferring as a College Bound Scholarship recipient in Washington is possible, but it does require attention to certain details to ensure you maintain eligibility. Primarily, the new school you wish to transfer to must also be an eligible institution under the College Bound Scholarship program.

Here's a simplified process:

1. Inform the financial aid office at your current institution that you're planning to transfer.

2. Apply to and get accepted by the new eligible institution.

3. Update your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA) with your new school information.

4. Contact the financial aid office at your new institution. Inform them that you're a College Bound Scholarship recipient and confirm that the scholarship will be applied to your tuition.

As long as you stay committed to your College Bound pledge, maintain a GPA of 2.0 or higher, and meet the income eligibility standard, you should maintain your scholarship. Also, remember that this scholarship is last-dollar, so it will cover the remaining tuition after other state financial aid has been applied. Additionally, you must be on track to complete your degree within five years of enrollment, excluding any quarters you didn’t receive the scholarship.

It's always recommended to check specific scholarship transfer policies either online or by contacting the program directly. In this case, you may want to reach out to the College Bound Scholarship program office for the most accurate information.
