Bill > SB5841

This bill aims to enhance the process of completing postsecondary financial aid applications by integrating this information into the existing "high school and beyond plan" platform. The high school and beyond plan is a personalized roadmap for students, guiding their academic journey and preparing them for future education or careers. The bill mandates that the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) develop a universal online platform for these plans, which will now include the capability to import financial aid application data from the Washington Student Achievement Council. This integration will allow students, parents, and authorized school staff to easily view the progress and completion status of both state and federal financial aid applications, thereby simplifying the application process and ensuring students have access to crucial information for their postsecondary pursuits.
