College Bound/Whitworth Bound Scholarship

College Bound Scholarship

The College Bound Scholarship Program is an early commitment of financial aid from the state of Washington. To be eligible, students must meet all requirements as set by the Washington Student Achievement Council:

  • Sign up for (or be automatically enrolled in) College Bound in middle school
  • Graduate from a Washington high school or homeschool program with a 2.0 GPA or higher
  • Be good citizens who have never been convicted of a felony
  • Apply to an eligible college
  • Complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or WASFA (Washington Application for State Financial Aid)

The amount of the scholarship is based on tuition and an allowance for books at a public Washington state university, and the full amount of the scholarship can be applied to tuition, housing and meal costs at Whitworth.

Whitworth Bound Scholarship – $2,000 ($8,000 over four years)

First-year and transfer students from the state of Washington who meet all requirements for the College Bound Scholarship may be eligible to receive the Whitworth Bound Scholarship.
