Admission Guaranteed at WVC for WHS and WestSide High School Graduating Seniors

Wenatchee High School and WestSide High graduates will be admitted to Wenatchee Valley College automatically and for free beginning in the 2017/2018 school year as part of a one-year pilot program called TAG (The Admissions Guarantee).

"WHS is excited to streamline the process for so many of our students who have the desire to attain a college education,” said principal Eric Anderson.

The college will waive the $25 admission fee for students in TAG. Seniors must graduate from high school in order to be eligible for TAG, and they would be required to attend an orientation session.

Kory Kalahar, WestSide High School Principal said,  “We are excited that the TAG program will offer a seamless ‘next step’ for our graduating seniors that will offer more advanced career options or a college trajectory.” 

TAG is valid only for WVC admission. Financial aid and scholarship applications are separate. Students planning to attend any other college or university would also need to complete a separate application for that school. 

TAG program goals are:

  • Increase student knowledge of higher education options.
  • Help students and families navigate the college admission process.
  • Provide support to local high schools as they help students understand how to apply for college admission. 

“Applying to college can be a daunting task for students and families,” said Dr. Chio Flores, WVC Vice President of Student Services and Enrollment Management. “TAG offers a seamless process for admission to WVC. The program provides WVC an opportunity to support local area high school graduates in their transition to college.”

Flores said that the college is looking to expand the program to other high schools in the future.
