Free community college bill advances through House committee
OLYMPIA — All students in Washington high schools could soon be eligible for a free 13th year of school.
House Bill 2309 would establish the “Washington 13 Free Guarantee,” providing students with up to 45 credits of community or technical college tuition-free.
-snip-
It’s a relatively low-barrier program, but there are a few catches. To take advantage of it, students must:
• Graduate from a public high school in the state;
• Complete the FAFSA or WASFA;
• Attend a college within the region they received their high school diploma;
• Earn the 45 credits within two years; and
• Maintain good academic standing.
