You can go to college with College Bound!

The College Bound Scholarship is a program for low-income youth. If your family qualifies, you could receive college tuition for up to four years!

After you've applied, you need to do well in middle and high school, graduate from high school, and stay out of trouble.

The scholarship may be used at a community college, a vocational-technical college, or a 4 year college or university. For more information and to apply online visit www.hecb.wa.gov/collegebound, or download a brochure that explains the program.
