WSAC College Bound Scholarship Sign-Up Rates

The College Bound Scholarship was created to provide state financial aid to low-income students who may not consider college a possibility due to the cost. The scholarship covers tuition (at comparable public college rates), some fees, and a small book allowance.

This dataset contains the counts of 7th or 8th grade students whose family meets the income requirements (CBS_Eligible), those who submit and complete an application by June 30 of the student’s 8th grade year(CBS_Applications), and the Sign-Up Rate (CBS_Rate) calculated as a percentage.

1. This data set includes students enrolled in Washington public schools. It does not include students who are homeschooled or attending private school.
2. Data has been pre-aggregated to the state, Educational Service District, school district, and school levels, as some entities have fewer than 10 eligible students and thus have been suppressed.
3. Eligible Student counts of less than 10 have been labeled <10. Sign-up Rates for entities with fewer than 10 eligible students have are been rounded to the nearest 10%, and for other entities, rates less than 5% are coded to 5% and greater than 95% are coded to 95%.
4. To maximize the CBS sign-up rate, districts should use the WSAC online portal, middle school toolbox, and upload process.
