The program also is available for this year’s eighth graders. Students must apply for the scholarship in either the seventh or eighth grade and must complete high school with at least a 2.0 grade-point average with demonstrated good citizenship. This scholarship will pay for tuition, fees, and books at all public and private colleges and community colleges in Washington.
