Important News regarding the 2024-2025 FAFSA®
File your FAFSA® The 2024-2025 FAFSA and WASFA applications are now available! If you plan to attend in Summer or Fall 2024, complete your 2024-2025 FAFSA or WASFA application today!
We are currently waiting for additional information from the Department of Education and WA State Board for Community and Technical Colleges before we begin to process 2024-2025 financial aid applications, which is currently expected in June. Summer aid applicants enrolled in summer classes will be prioritized.
We will provide updates as we learn more.
The delays in the new FAFSA® process will affect our review of your eligibility.
It means that we will not receive your application, see any of your submitted FAFSA information, or be able to advise on financial aid eligibility until a later date (currently estimated for some time in June 2024).
It is important that you file your FAFSA® and regularly check back on its status to make any corrections. Check your FAFSA® summary to see if there are messages and respond appropriately.
If you want help completing your FAFSA®, plan to attend one of the upcoming financial aid nights hosted by our college or community organizations.

Summer 2024 registration
Please know we are here for you and are actively seeking solutions to help those registering for Summer 2024 classes with holistic support. Our goal is to be as timely and transparent as possible and will provide you with regular updates when available.
We are focusing our assistance on two areas: basic needs, as well as tuition and fees.
Tuition and fees
The college is committed to not dropping students for Summer 2024 for non-payment for those who have completed their 2024-25 FAFSA®. This would allow us to apply your awarded financial aid to your balance. You would remain responsible for your out-of-pocket account balance.
Basic needs
The college and the district are working to develop funding that could assist students in need. We are still exploring a variety of options, including emergency grants, that would help you to meet your basic needs during Summer 2024.
As a reminder, the 2024-2025 school year begins with our summer quarter 2024. This DOES NOT determine your upcoming Spring 2024 aid!
Application Processing
The Financial Aid office is currently processing applications for Spring quarter enrolled applicants who had all documentation including the FAFSA submitted at time of final document submission.
