Class of 2025: It's Time To Apply


STEP ONE: Start your path to college by applying for your Seattle Promise scholarship by Friday, February 14, 2025. 

Apply for Seattle Promise

All graduating seniors attending Seattle public high schools are eligible for the Seattle Promise program regardless of grade point average (GPA), income, ability, or country of birth.
 

STEP TWO: After you've completed your Seattle Promise application, your next step is to apply for admission to the Seattle College of your choice by Friday, February 14, 2025.

Please read these important tips before completing the admissions application:

  • Use the same email address you used to apply to Seattle Promise.  
  • You, the student, should complete the application. Family members/parents/guardians are encouraged to support and assist you during the application process, but you should complete the application.
  • Use your legal name as it appears on your government-issued ID.
  • Apply term: Fall 2025.
  • If you are undecided in what you would like to study, select Degree: Academic Transfer AA DTA.
  • Select Country: United States even if you were born somewhere else.
  • If you have one, please include your SSN/ITIN in your application.  
     

Seattle Colleges uses the Online Admissions Application Portal (OAAP) for Washington State Community and Technical Colleges. In that application portal, you can apply to attend North Seattle College, Seattle Central College, or South Seattle College.
