The Unit Record provides data about Washington students who receive need-based financial aid. It identifies the type and amount of aid received by students. The Washington Student Achievement Council collects this data to analyze who benefits from aid programs. The report helps determine how well federal, state, institutional, and other aid sources are meeting student need. It is used to evaluate state financial aid programs, support budget requests, and improve services to students.
Every college that participates in the Washington College Grant program is required to complete the Unit Record Report at the end of each fiscal year.
