Eligible students can get money to put toward the costs of earning a college certificate or degree, or to help pay for job training through a pre-apprenticeship or apprenticeship program. Passport also connects you with experts to help answer questions and navigate your pathway.
Visit the online Passport Guide to learn more about the Passport to Careers program, including eligibility information, details of how to apply, answers to frequently asked questions, and links to additional resources.
Preparing for college or career training on your own can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! There are people and programs available to help. Learn more and get support on the Washington Student Achievement Council website.
