Washington Governor Bob Ferguson is asking state lawmakers to make completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) a requirement for high school graduation. Under the proposal, students in all 295 public school districts would be required to complete the federal financial aid application before receiving a diploma. Some Washington school districts already include FAFSA completion as part of their graduation process, but Ferguson's plan would expand the requirement statewide. Supporters argue the change could help more students access grants, scholarships, and other financial aid opportunities for college or career training. The proposal is also expected to spark debate over state graduation requirements, student choice, and the role of government in education policy. #Washington #BobFerguson #FAFSA #Education #HighSchool #College #FinancialAid #Politics #BreakingNews #Students #Graduation #PublicEducation #StateGovernment #HigherEducation #News
