ETV Deadline

Here is a recent notification I received from the State regarding ETV funding. Make sure you meet the deadlines:

The priority submission period for all applicants is January 1 to April 30, 2012.  Applications submitted after April 30 will be placed on a wait list and will be awarded on a funds available basis.  The 2012-13 application cycle will close July 31, 2012 and no further applications will be accepted after this date.

First Time Applicants

Youth who are first time applicants to the program and are not yet age 21 can use either of the following steps:

1.       Complete the online application at:  http://www.independence.wa.gov/programs/etv.asp, (preferred method); or

2.       Submit a hard copy of the application to: ETV Program 1115 Washington St. SE  Olympia, WA 98504;

·         Applications  are available for downloading online or

·          ETV program staff will, on request, send applications by mail.

Renewal Applicants

Renewal applications are also subject to the January 1 to April 30, 2012 deadline for priority funding.   In mid-December, approximately 700 renewal applications were sent to eligible current and former ETV students.  Applications for renewing students are also available online or can be requested from program staff.  Please note in order to be eligible for an ETV award a renewing student must meet his or her institution’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy and ETV program requirements.    Questions about whether individual students’ situations meet these standards may be addressed to program staff.     

All students will receive confirmation that the program received the application; and will include a request for any additional required paperwork (grade transcripts, award letters, class schedules, etc.) that applicants will need to submit before an ETV award offer can be made for the 2012-13 academic year.
