SB 5828 was not included in the final budget.
This is deeply disappointing for the thousands of Washington students who spoke up for their futures.
To everyone who fought this session—thank you. Take care of yourselves. The fight continues.

The Association of Washington Business testified in strong support of SB 5828, highlighting an important point: state investment in financial aid has grown. Students should not see less aid now, especially when demand for qualified workers is higher than ever.

Thank you @SenatorNobles and everyone speaking up for equitable financial aid support.
Do right by students. They’re our future.

Thankful to see The @SeattleTimes call for fully funding college financial aid, no matter which eligible school students choose. 🎓 My bill, SB 5828, restores Washington College Grant and College Bound support so more students can afford college. 🔗 seattletimes.com/opinion/editor…

Financial aid is the reason students like Jari Tavira could stay close to home, support their family, and graduate debt-free.

For students like Jack Kashork, the WA College Grant made college possible — and unlocked even more aid.
Cuts to private nonprofit students create real gaps that families can’t fill.

Last-minute legislation significantly cuts the Washington College Grant (AY 26–27) and College Bound Scholarship (AY 27–28). Students at not-for-profit colleges will lose $3,200+ per year and up to $27,500 total. See the full impact below. Learn more: SaveStudentAid.org.
