Washington's independent colleges and universities are affordable to students of all family incomes. Through a combination of aid programs - scholarships, grants, loans, and work study - most students find that attending a private institution can be as affordable as attending a state institution.

The most important aspect of choosing a college however, is finding the right "fit". Independent colleges and universities offer diverse settings, programs, and extracurricular activities, providing perspective students a choice when it comes to a higher education.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that you can't afford the education you want; financial aid is available and financial aid officers are committed to help.
