House Bill 1079 In May 7, 2003, House Bill (HB) 1079 was signed into law by Governor Gary Locke. This law allows students who have lived in Washington State for three years or more to be considered “residents” when they pay for their tuition and fees at Washington State colleges and universities. HB 1079 does not change a student’s legal citizenship status. To qualify for resident tuition, students must have: 1. Earned a high school diploma or equivalent (GED) from a Washington State high school; 2. Lived in Washington State for three years prior to receiving a high school diploma or GED; 3. Lived continually in Washington since earning the high school diploma or GED; 4. Meet the college or university admission requirements expected of all other students. The Affidavit is a confidential statement verifying that the student qualifies to pay resident tuition, and that they will seek legal permanent residency when legally permitted to do so. If an Affidavit is not provided or available, the student should ask a trusted relative, friend, teacher, or counselor to request it from the institution they plan to attend. The Affidavit is available at following link Affidavit. Senate Bill 6523 On February 26, 2014, Governor Jay Inslee signed into law SB 6523. Known as the Washington Dream Act/REAL Hope Act. This law expands eligibility for the Washington State Need Grant to non-citizens who meet the program’s eligibility requirements. The three residency criteria are listed below: 1. Have graduated from a Washington high school or obtained a GED in Washington 2. Have lived in Washington for three years prior to, and continuously since, earning the high school diploma or equivalent 3. Sign a HB 1079 affidavit (written promise) to file an application to become a permanent resident of the United States when eligible to apply *Students granted deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) must also complete and sign and HB 1079 Affidavit. DACA is not mandatory to apply for this. Application can be found at www.readysetgrad.org/wasfa. Students must re-apply every academic year starting on January 1st and submitting by the school(s)’s priority deadline (varies by school). **Please note that the information provided by the student to the institution and the WASFA is protected, through FERPA and will not be shared with a third party.** How to use this Scholarship Guide The Beyond Dreaming Scholarship Handbook has the following sections: Washington State Scholarships Nation Wide Scholarships Washington State Higher Education Institution Scholarship resources The first two sections are organized by deadline from January to December. The third section is organized alphabetically. The only way to have a shot at winning scholarships is to apply for scholarships. You’ll hear it time and time again – apply early, and apply often. Here are some tips to apply for scholarships: Identify the right scholarships for you and check the requirements of the scholarship application. Make sure you qualify. Identify resources to help review your application. Most applications will ask for a combination of the following. Scholarship essay and/or Personal statement ‐ Always adapt your essay and personal statement to make sure you are answering what the application asks you and be prepared to find at least two people who can help you with reviewing the essays and personal statements. Letters of recommendation – Ask someone who knows you well at least two weeks in advance and follow-up. They should know your academic work and be aware of your commitments outside of school. We recommend that you always provide the person who will write your letter of recommendation a copy of your resume and transcript and any draft essays you have for the scholarship. The more information you give them, the better prepared they will be to write a great letter on your behalf! Transcript- Ask your counselor for an official transcript to submit with your application. If there has been a significant hardship that affected your transcript include a brief statement. Plan ahead. Look ahead about three months for deadlines and update/confirm deadlines to ensure you apply in time. If a deadline or other important information is not posted, contact the organization and ask for missing information: Hi. My name is _______ and I’m calling about the _____ scholarship.

project was possible through the support of the Beyond HB 1079 Committee. Without the team’s effort and guidance this project wouldn’t have been renewed. Thank you to the volunteers who contributed countless hours to update the scholarship packet. Special thanks to our conference sponsors, Everett Community College— thank you for being unafraid educators with and for undocumented students.
