The 91茄子 Access Pledge (formerly Magis Commitment) is 91茄子's full-tuition commitment to bridge the gap for college funding.  The 91茄子 Access Pledge provides grant and scholarship aid to cover the cost of tuition for first-year students throughout Washington State who demonstrate high financial need.  To be eligible, students must be admitted to 91茄子 as a first-year student, have a permanent address in the state of Washington, and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).*

*To determine eligibility, undocumented Washington residents must submit a Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA).
