Concerning financial aid awards for students attending private four-year institutions of higher education.

Summary

The bill revises state definitions of eligible colleges and establishes maximum Washington college grant amounts for private nonprofit and for‑profit four‑year and two‑year schools, with future amounts tied to public university awards or a wage‑based growth factor. It also creates a college‑bound scholarship that automatically enrolls students who qualify for free or reduced‑price lunches or meet certain dependent criteria. The goal is to standardize aid levels and expand support for financially needy students.
