Financial Aid FAFSA/WASFA Workshops

Get help completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA) from YVC’s financial aid experts! Staff will be available to help answer questions from students and their families in both English and Spanish to help maximize the financial aid you receive. These workshops are open to the community and free of charge. Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to attend with their student.

FAFSA: The FAFSA is required to apply for federal financial assistance for higher education. Each year, the U.S. Department of Education provides more than $150 billion in grants, loans and work-study funds to students in need. In addition, many states and colleges use the FAFSA data to determine eligibility for state and institutional aid, and some private financial aid providers may use FAFSA information to determine whether students qualify for their aid.

WASFA: The Washington College Grant offers expanded eligibility to include low-income, non-citizen students who meet the program’s eligibility requirements and satisfy the following residency criteria:

• Have graduated from a Washington high school or obtained a GED (or will do so before beginning college),
• Have lived in Washington for three years prior to, and continuously since, earning their high school diploma or equivalent, and
• Sign an affidavit to file an application to become a permanent resident of the United States when eligible to apply.
