College Bound Scholarship
BROAD ALL-SCHOOL EFFORTS
Broad, all-school efforts that encourage students to continue their education beyond high school can also include information about College Bound.
Typically, any discussion about college will cover ways to pay for college – loans, grants, scholarships, etc. By describing College Bound as one more option for students, you can spread the word about the program.
IDEAS
Assign a class project about applying for college including how to apply for financial aid. Use a PowerPoint presentation from HECB to give an overview of College Bound or the importance of attending college.
Next, direct your students to www.hecb.wa.gov/Paying for information about financial aid programs including the College Bound Scholarship.
Piggyback with scheduled events by including a summary of College Bound in your welcoming remarks or staff a table with College Bound materials. To order free brochures and posters, call 1-888-535-0747.
- School concerts, science fairs
- Pep rallies

Sponsor a general college event such as “Why Go to College?” or “How to Pay for College” with AVID, NAV 101, GEAR UP, Talent Search, or Career Cruising.
Invite your school’s alumni who attend college (university, vocational-technical or community) to describe their experiences. Contact your College Bound Counselor for assistance.
Use technology to create a link from your school’s Website to College Bound. Or, use Facebook to connect students who have already signed up and want to chat with one another about their futures.
