Washington State – What is Unclaimed Property (UCP)? Unclaimed property is money or intangible property owed to an individual or business. Property is considered unclaimed after it has been held for a period of time with no owner contact. It is then turned over to the state of Washington to safeguard until it is returned to the owner. The Department of Revenue oversees unclaimed property for Washington and administers the unclaimed property program to seek the rightful owners. 1 in 2 residents may have Unclaimed Property.

WHEN YOU NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT – There is some very exceptional activity coming from The Attorney General’s Office to protect your rights. We offer an informal complaint resolution service to Washington state residents, and to consumers with complaints about businesses located in Washington state. Through this process, we contact businesses to determine their response to consumer complaints. If a business refuses to respond or to make an adjustment, we cannot compel them to do so. We inform consumers of alternatives if our complaint resolution service is not successful.
The Attorney General’s Office is authorized to bring legal action only in the name of the State of Washington and is prohibited from serving as an attorney for individual consumers. We are further prohibited from giving advice, rendering opinions or interpretations, or conducting research on behalf of individuals or businesses.
Each month our office receives more than 2,000 emails asking for help or information. We have found that many of the constituent inquiries fall into the same categories. In some cases, these inquiries can more efficiently be handled by the agency that specializes in the area of the complaint. In order to help serve you in a more timely manner, we have provided answers to the most asked questions in each of these categories in Help by Topic. Link: https://www.atg.wa.gov/file-complaint

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR WOMEN – The economy gets tough on occasion. When it does, many adults choose to return to school alongside graduating high school seniors. Both types of students enter higher education for one purpose: to better their chances of getting a job that will help them through the hard times, or to get their dream job they have wanted to do for most of their lives. In some cases, they may not have had the
opportunity to do so, having instead taken time out to marry and raise a family or enter another type of occupation in order to make ends meet. The reasons for wanting to go to college are as numerous as the
people who make the choice to do so. A major part of those students are female. Women represent over half
the undergraduate class for Caucasians, and 62 percent of African American undergrads, but any ethnicity has the same slant between women and men. Some of these young ladies are fresh-faced eighteen-year-olds straight from high school with ambition to change the world, but others may have had to put their lives on hold in order to raise a child. Some women may be furthering their education at the graduate level too.
Because women are coming to college in such great numbers, the need to pay for that education becomes a requirement that can make or break the decision to stay. Link: https://www.scholarshipsforwomen.net/

RESEARCH NOTE: STATES ARE LISTED HERE… OUR FOUCUS IS ON OUR HOME STATE OF WASHINGTON.
Washington State Scholarships And Grants – Take Care of Those College Expenses – Washington State, like other states across the country, supports a wide range of scholarships, grants and college loans for its resident students.

Scholarships For Change – At their core, all scholarship grants aim to enact change in the lives of their grantees: through access to education, resources, and powerful networks. Some scholarships, however, leverage their programs to impact society in a broader way, aiming to change whole institutions, industries, and specific communities through these awards.

WHAT IS SCIENCE? While the popular image of scientists still consists of men in lab coats conducting dangerous laboratory experiments, any aspiring science major can tell you that people pursuing careers in science are actually an extremely diverse group with noble intentions. Science is a broad term that encompasses many different forms of inquiry. Nearly any means of asking and seeking to answer questions about the world counts as science, from social science to biology to chemistry to physics. As a result, the possibility for college majors in science and post-collegiate careers in science is wide-ranging, and many don’t even require white lab coats, strange chemicals or assistants named Igor. Science majors may wind up conducting research for a company or university, teaching at a high school or college or using their critical thinking and analytical skills within a business or a non-profit agency , among the many career opportunities available to them. They can even find themselves literally helping to save the world through their work. Beyond the diversity of opportunity and possibility for personal fulfillment, science careers also make economic sense. It comes as no surprise that in our increasingly technologically reliant and increasingly environmentally and health conscious society, science and scientists are playing more prominent roles. In fact, organizations right and left are calling for more Americans to pursue college degrees and careers in science, especially fields related to environmental science and clean energy. In order for America to remain competitive in a global economy, many feel that we need more college graduates with science degrees. As a result, everyone from private foundations to the federal government has begun offering science scholarships and grants. Some of the awards can get quite large, like the Intel Science Talent Search and the Siemens Competition, each of which carries a top prize of $100,000. Students with financial need who are pursuing a science education can even receive a specially-designated federal grant, the SMART Grant, to help pay for school.

Did you know the Pell Grant turned 50 years old? The federal program to provide financial aid for students from low-income backgrounds has helped about 80 million Americans to pay for college. In Washington state in just the last year, 90,000 students from low-income backgrounds received nearly $360 million in Pell Grants to help meet college expenses. Given that a majority of job openings in Washington state will be filled by people with a post-high school credential, it’s as important as ever to ensure students have the support they need to enroll in and complete postsecondary education.
We asked Washingtonians what the Pell Grant has meant to them, and here are a few of the things we heard:
“I would never have the chance to pursue my goals without the help of the Pell Grant. To me the Pell Grant means opportunity,” says Lizette, a student at Eastern Washington University, class of 2025.
“The Pell grant took a huge amount of stress off my shoulders allowing me to focus on school and career building,” says Kayla, a Pacific Lutheran University student, class of 2023.
“Coming from a single-income, low-income family, the Pell Grant enabled me to pay for 4 years of college and graduate debt-free. It provided financial independence,” says Elizabeth, a graduate of Peninsula College who has worked in the college’s Financial Aid Office supporting students for six-plus years.

Credit for Life Experience: An Explanation – If you’ve been on the job for a few years—or a few decades—your experience may be worth credits at your college. Many schools offer life experience credits to students who can prove they already have the skills taught in a certain course. If you can translate your experience into college credit, you can save money and time earning your degree.
Be wary of schools that offer too much life experience credit, however. Many diploma mills offer degrees based largely on life experience. Legitimate schools usually limit the amount of life experience credit you can qualify for, and you’ll always be required to prove your expertise.
How To Get College Credit For Your Life Experience
How do you get credit for your life experience? The process depends on the school. Here are some of the most common ways you can prove your knowledge—and translate that knowledge into credits towards a degree.
Speak with the college – This is always the place to start. Speak with your school to determine how they judge your life experience. Some schools accept standardized test scores and as they also want to see a portfolio of prior knowledge. Some colleges will even ask for a personal interview to judge the depth of your knowledge.
Submit a portfolio – Many schools expect you to submit a portfolio showing your experience. The criteria changes depending on the school’s policies. Most of the time, you’ll have to tailor your portfolio towards demonstrating skills taught in specific classes you feel you’re qualified to get credit for.
Include completed work assignments, certifications, personal essays, letters from supervisors or team members, curriculums and assignments from job training classes—anything to demonstrate you already know what a certain class is teaching.
Get certified – If you’re certified for a certain skill, you may be able to get college credit if you can prove that the certification covers topics taught in a certain class. Teaching, counseling, various computer and technology fields, and some administrative and business fields all commonly require certification. Many of these are worth at least a few credits. Others may shave off as much as a year from the time it takes to get your degree.
Leverage your workplace training
If you’ve completed any on-the-job training programs during the course of your work, you may have been earning college credits without realizing it. There are many schools that offer clearly defined amounts of credits certain on-the-job training courses earn.
Many of these credit-for-training programs are managed through the American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation Service (ACE CREDIT – Link: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pages/default.aspx). Participating schools generally share the ACE guidelines.
Returning to school or hoping to advance your career – If you’ve waited to go back to school and earn your degree, you may stand to save some serious money and time. Many offer life experiences that can shorten your time in school by months—or even a year. It can take some time and preparation to earn life experience credits, but you stand to save thousands in tuition costs. Most students agree that the up-front investment is worth it.
WHAT IS A SCHOLARSHIP OR PRIORITY DEADLINE?
This is a deadline usually listed on the admissions or scholarship pages of a college’s website. This is the deadline to apply for admission to that institutional and be considered for merit scholarships. It could be the Early Acceptance Deadline or a separate deadline. Some of these scholarship deadlines are hard and fast. Miss the deadline and you are not considered for merit scholarships. Other colleges post a “soft” deadline where you receive the maximum consideration for scholarships if you apply by the deadline. It is very important to note these deadlines when you are making your college list.
