Washington State Passport to College Scholarship

Created by the state of Washington, the Passport to Careers Program encourages young people who have experienced foster care and unaccompanied homeless youth to prepare for and succeed in college, apprenticeships, or pre-apprenticeship programs. Eligible students can receive scholarships and other forms of financial aid that will help pay tuition and living expenses. Passport to Careers includes two sub-programs: Passport to College and Passport to Apprenticeship Opportunities

Through Passport to College, students get a scholarship and support services from college staff. Funds can be used for tuition, fees, books, housing, transportation, and some personal expenses.

Passport to Apprenticeship Opportunities supports people in registered apprenticeship or pre-apprenticeship programs. Funds can cover tuition and fees for classes, and occupational costs like work clothes and tools.

Scholars also receive special consideration for the Washington College Grant and State Work Study financial aid programs.
