Full-Tuition, Full-Need Scholarship
Act Six is Washington's only full-tuition, full-need urban leadership scholarship. Seeking the state's most promising emerging urban leaders, Act Six works with colleges and other partners to guarantee that scholars receive scholarships that, at minimum, cover full tuition at the four-year institution.
Scholars with need beyond tuition (as determined by the FAFSA) will receive additional grant and work study to fully meet that need. For most scholars, the awards will therefore cover some or all of the cost of room and board, books, travel and personal expenses.
To retain the scholarship, scholars are required to remain active in the program and maintain satisfactory academic progress throughout their undergraduate studies.
The Big Picture
To date, Act Six scholars across Washington have been awarded more than $13.5 million in grants and scholarships, with another $4 million expected to be awarded to this year's new scholars.
Act Six Washington is an initiative of
