Student Aid All-Stars

State financial aid is often discussed in multi-million dollar increments. While figures and facts can illustrate the importance of these programs in increasing access, affordability, and capacity, individual students can relate their personal success and hope for the future.

The Student Aid All-Stars below represent the thousands of students receiving the Washington State Need Grant attending an ICW member institution. All receive other financial aid, including federal Pell Grants, work-study, loans, and institutional aid.

At ICW member colleges, all recipients of the State Need Grant are low-income, and all are Washington residents. 86% are first-generation, non-white, over 24 years old, or transfer students. They make up 20% of the undergraduate student body at ICW institutions. All are an investment in Washington's future.
