The WashBoard is a free scholarship matching platform provided by the Washington Student Achievement Council. Rather than operating as a direct financial award, this online resource connects students with various scholarship opportunities throughout the state. The program is designed for Washington residents, as well as students from other states who are currently attending or planning to attend a college or university located in Washington.

To use the service, students create a personal profile detailing their academic background, interests, and financial circumstances. The platform then matches them with compatible scholarship providers. While the platform itself does not distribute funding, the individual scholarships found through the site may cover tuition, fees, or other educational expenses. Because many of these external scholarships require applicants to demonstrate financial need, students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA or the Washington Application for State Financial Aid to maximize their opportunities.
