Students who attend independent colleges in Washington earn one in five baccalaureate and advanced degrees in the state while receiving only 2% of the state's higher education budget.
Our mission is to provide these students with educational opportunity, choice, and success. Produced for ICW's sponsorship of The Impact on TVW

ICW's new scholarship programs
Matched College Savings Program
MCSP is ICW's innovative program that rewards the savings habits of very low income students attending ICW colleges. Student savings are matched by both federal and private dollars which, along with their personal savings, must be used by the student to help with the cost of tuition, books and other college related supplies. To be eligible for this program, students must meet income guidelines, complete a financial education course, and save for a minimum of 6 months. Click to read more about the program.
Next Step Transfer Scholarship
Established in 2011 by Puget Sound area law firms, the Next Step Transfer Scholarship recognizes the contributions of nearly 6,000 transfer students at ICW member colleges. This new ICW scholarship provides financial support for transfer students at Independent Colleges of Washington member institutions who completed their Associate’s degree at a Community or Technical College.
Learn more about the benefits of contributing to an ICW Scholarship Fund.
100% of funds are distributed to our member colleges to be awarded to transfer students with high need. For more information, please contact Anne Cassidy, ICW, 206/623-4494.
