• Washington student residents can submit the WASFA (Washington Application for State Financial Aid) as soon as possible. As a result of the Washington REAL Hope Act becoming law, applications for state need grants are now being accepted. The WAFSA is specifically for low-income, non-citizen students that attended a Washington high school who are unable to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) due to immigration status.
• Non-Washington residents should fill out and submit the Needs Analysis Form to apply for need-based financial aid.
• Gonzaga accepts the College Bound Scholarship.
