The BECU Foundation has been a partner in our work for the past five years! We cannot express how thankful we are to have them as part of our community. Why is it important for BECU to support Washington students, including BECU members? "Many Washington students are at risk of not completing their credentials due to financial hardship. The BECU Foundation supports financial empowerment, which starts the journey to financial freedom. With financial health, students can seize opportunities and build financial resilience or the ability to withstand life events that impact income, assets, and future plans. By supporting partners that align with this vision, we can have an impact that supports Scholars' financial well-being."

Ivies are NOT “Need Blind”. Because Ivy League colleges have a limit to how many students they accept with financial aid, and they know about your families income based on the financial aid question and the fee waiver question on your application, if you know that you’re going to need the financial aid, you should be applying in regular decision because they have a budget of how many students they can give it to you and you want to make sure that they are more willing to take a risk on you when they’re deciding who to give it to. That’s how you get into an Ivy League school even if you need them to help you pay for it. #ivyleague #ivyleagueadmission #ivyroadmap #admissions #college #greenscreen
