Concerning Washington college grant award amounts.

HB 1143 adjusts Washington College Grant (WCG) award amounts for students attending different types of higher education institutions. It sets specific annual dollar limits (e.g., $9,739 for 4-year private non-profits, $3,694 for 2-year private non-profits) that increase each year beginning in 2025-26 by no more than Washington's median wage growth rate. The bill differentiates funding based on institution type (public, private non-profit, for-profit) and whether the institution signs an affidavit agreeing to certain terms. Students at institutions that sign the affidavit receive the higher specified amounts, while others receive amounts based on the prior academic year's tuition.
