A Message from the WA Student Achievement Council: Graduating seniors: It’s not too late - education after high school is still possible!
Want to have more options and make more money after high school? A college degree, certificate, apprenticeship, or other training can lead to a good job and higher wages. It's not too late to make a plan for more education after graduation!
You can go to college
Washington’s public community and technical colleges are open to anyone with a high school diploma or GED. Registration is open year-round, so it’s never too late to get started! Some public and private four-year colleges are also still accepting applications for this fall. Deadlines vary, so check each college’s website to confirm their process.
You can get job training
Do you enjoy hands-on learning? Are you hoping to join the workforce somewhat soon? You may want to consider a technical college, career program, or apprenticeship.
Financial aid can help cover the costs
Completing a financial aid application gives you more options for the future. The Washington College Grant (WA Grant) gives more money to more people for more kinds of education, including public and private colleges, workforce and training programs, and approved apprenticeships. WA Grant is available year-round—if you meet the eligibility requirements, you have money waiting for you. Apply now for the 2026-27 school year! Need help applying? OtterBot is a free, 24/7 financial aid and college planning texting service. It provides personalized assistance, reminders about deadlines, and answers to your financial aid questions.
Students with last names S-Z
If you are a student with the last name that starts with S-Z, you have a temporary change for your school counselor.
Ms. Amrine will be filling in for Mr. Wheeler. If you have questions for your counselor, please email amrinel@psd401.net
