Grant Funding

Federal, state and institutional grants for undergraduate students provide financial aid funding that does not need to be repaid. Highline College offers the following grants:

Pell Grant

Federal Pell Grants are typically awarded to undergraduate students who display exceptional financial need and have not earned a bachelor’s, graduate or professional degree.  To apply for Pell Grants, start by completing the FAFSA.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

The Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant is for students who are eligible to receive the Pell Grant and have exceptional financial need. You must be enrolled at least half-time, and meet Satisfactory Academic Progress to qualify. To apply, start by completing the FAFSA.

Washington College Grant

The Washington College Grant is one of the most generous financial aid programs in the country. People of all ages from low- and middle-income families may qualify to get money for college, career training, and participating apprenticeships. To apply, start by completing the FAFSA or WASFA.

Highline Grant

Highline Grant funding is the last aid awarded and the first aid to be canceled if new scholarship funds become available. Outside scholarship aid may replace Highline Grant at any time.

Highline Tuition Waiver

The Highline College Tuition Waiver (Tuition Waiver) waives tuition only and has no cash value, meaning that it cannot produce a Financial Aid Refund. These funds cannot be applied towards fees, or any other charges than Instate tuition.
