Due to ongoing complications, WSU has moved its priority FAFSA deadline as well as the deadline for the Washington Application for State Financial Aid to May 1 for both new and current WSU students.
Among the WSU programs and services receiving the most attention is La Bienvenida, a New Coug Orientation program tailored specifically for Spanish-speaking families.
WSU’s Undocumented Initiatives and the University of Idaho College of Law are working together to help students in both states navigate the complex immigration process.
In 2010, a group of five undocumented WSU students connected with University of Washington, Central Washington University and Eastern Washington University to find out what kind of services were offered to undocumented students at their schools. Undocumented Initiatives director Marcela Pattinson said undocumented students could not fight for fair treatment in the classrooms or receive leadership.
