Washington State lawmakers are letting cuts to financial aid enacted last year at the 11th hour go into effect. Students from families with low incomes who attend not-for-profit colleges and universities will see their state student financial aid cut by up to 50%. The cuts to the Washington College Grant and College Bound Scholarship programs go against everything our state says it stands for: equity, opportunity, and building a strong local workforce.

• Help students from low-income families afford college
• Build a strong, educated workforce for Washington's future

Now, the state is changing the rules mid-game—after promising support to students who’ve been planning for college since middle school.
