<p class="MsoNormal">The 2022 Legislative Session concluded on March 10, and the budget is waiting for the Governor’s signature. Once signed, we will be providing 2022-23 award charts and guidance for the Washington College Grant (WCG) and College Bound Scholarship
(CBS) programs. The attached memo provides a high-level overview of legislation and budget items related to state student financial aid programs. WSAC will be following up with updated 2022-23 program manuals, with operational details, and will be providing
virtual training workshops this spring. <o:p></o:p></p>
