<p>I just found out about this.</p>

<p>

The College Bound Scholarship provides hope and incentive for students and families who otherwise might not consider college as an option because of its cost.</p>

<p>The amount of the scholarship will be based on tuition rates at Washington public colleges and universities and will cover the amount of tuition and fees (plus $500 for books) not covered by other state financial aid awards.</p>

<p>Low-income 7th and 8th grade students who sign a pledge by June 30 of their 8th grade year are eligible. Students promise to graduate from high school, demonstrate good citizenship, and seek admission to a college or university. Family income will be re-checked and college admission confirmed after the student graduates from high school.
