The State of Washington contributes to the cost of students through support of
basic instructional cost and state-supported financial aid. For the academic year
2011-12, the instructional cost per full-time student was $6,168. A Washington
resident, when he/she pays tuition, funds about 51% of the instructional cost.
The state supports the remaining instructional cost. Students at community
colleges also receive state-supported financial aid including that provided from
each college’s financial aid fund (3.5% of tuition). The total state financial aid
support per full-time equivalent student amounts to $793 for the year.
