Shoreline students are College Bound - District receives Gold Star from State

Shoreline Schools received a “Gold Star Award” from Gov. Jay Inslee’s office acknowledging that Shoreline is one of the top performing districts in the state for registrations for the College Bound Scholarship program.

Shoreline exceeded the state’s average of 89 percent. The letter from Inslee said in part, 

“Students in your district have greater opportunities because of your efforts and leadership. I want to commend you, your district team, your district partners, and the hard working teachers, counselors, and building staff who have contributed to your success.”

The College Bound Scholarship program is an early commitment of state financial aid to eligible students who sign up in middle school and fulfill the pledge.

The program encourages students who might not consider college because of the cost to dream big and continue their education beyond high school.

When eligible students apply, they promise to:

• Graduate from a Washington high school or home school with a 2.0 GPA or higher.
• Be a good citizen and not be convicted of a felony.
• Apply to an eligible college and file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in a timely manner.

The application deadline is June 30 at the end of the student's 8th grade year. Students only need to sign up once.
