Paying For College
Ways to Pay for College
Paying for college is possible, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. At Skagit Valley College, we connect you with options that can make your education more affordable, including financial aid, scholarships, grants, work opportunities and more. Explore the possibilities and take the next step toward funding your future.Financial Aid
Financial Aid provides grants, loans, and workstudy opportunities to those that are eligible. You can apply by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA) is also available for those that are unable to apply for federal aid due to citizenship status. You only need to complete one. If you are eligible for FAFSA, you do not need to complete the WASFA.
