By Representatives Steele and Jacobsen
Read first time 01/11/22. Referred to Committee on College &
Workforce Development.
1 AN ACT Relating to scholarship displacement in postsecondary
2 institutions' gift equity packaging policies; adding a new section to
3 chapter 28B.77 RCW; and creating a new section.
4 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
5 NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature recognizes the importance
6 of philanthropic entities that donate millions of dollars in private
7 scholarships to students and that such entities are a key component
8 in helping students attain their educational goals. The legislature
9 seeks to encourage philanthropic giving of private scholarships and
10 declares that such entities are more likely to donate money when they
11 know their scholarships will genuinely help recipients meet their
12 financial needs. Therefore, the legislature intends to incentivize
13 the giving of scholarships by private entities by addressing
14 scholarship displacement.
15 NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 28B.77
16 RCW to read as follows:
17 (1) The council shall ensure that a postsecondary institution
18 participating in the state student financial aid program has a gift
19 equity packaging policy allowing for a student who receives a private
20 scholarship to receive up to 100 percent of the student's unmet need,
p. 1 HB 1907.SL
1 as determined by the United States department of education's federal
2 need analysis methodology, before any of the student's federal,
3 state, or institutional financial aid is reduced under the
4 institution's gift equity packaging policy.
5 (2) This section does not apply to public community and technical
6 colleges.
Passed by the House February 8, 2022.
Passed by the Senate March 3, 2022.
Approved by the Governor March 24, 2022.
Filed in Office of Secretary of State March 24, 2022.
