State Need Grant

The State Need Grant (SNG) program helps the state's lowest-income undergraduate students pursue degrees, refine skills, and retrain for new careers. To be eligible, a student's family income cannot exceed 70 percent of the state's median.

Eligible students can use the SNG at Washington's public two- and four-year colleges and universities and many accredited private/independent colleges, universities, and career schools in the state.
