Applicants may be a high school senior attending a Washington state high school and on track to graduate by June 2026; or be a college student enrolled in CSF College Services (includes all former CSF Achievers) attending an eligible Washington state college or university as a freshman, sophomore or junior in Fall 2026. They must also have resided in Washington state for at least one year prior to enrolling in college. Applicants must file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) or the free Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA).

The intent of the Leadership 1000 Scholarship is to fund students to complete their bachelor's degrees within 4 years.
