Thanks to a new pilot program, qualifying Ridgefield School District seniors will receive guaranteed admission to five Washington colleges and universities. Participating colleges and universities are:
\r\n● Central Washington University
● Eastern Washington University
● The Evergreen State College
● Washington State University
● Western Washington University
RSD is one of 60 districts participating in the guaranteed admissions pilot program this school year. Please note that guaranteed admission is not free admission. To qualify, students must: \r\n
\r\n1. Meet GPA and course requirements.
\r\n2. Release their contact information to higher education institutions.
\r\na. To do this, log into Skyward Family Access and navigate to “Student Info” on the left-hand side. Request changes to “Student Information,” check yes on “Higher Ed” and click “Save.”
\r\nCollege admissions staff will reach out to qualifying students by email beginning in December. Students must complete the application process and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA).
