Find Financial Help

Even though Cascadia is quite affordable, we know some students will need financial assistance. Cascadia provides student financial services in the form of grants, loans and work-study positions. Visit Student Financial Services for information about financial aid.

Get to Know Cascadia

After students apply, they will be invited to an advising session to assist in selecting the right classes to meet personal and professional goals. Advisors and faculty will be on hand at these sessions – and throughout the educational experience – to provide the support needed to be successful.

Mentorship - Peer Resource Officers - PRO

A group of Cascadia students serve as Peer Resource Officers who mentor and support new incoming Cascadia students.  The PROs will "check in" with the new students throughout the quarter and offer more ways for the new students to get involved with campus life.  They will help the new students be successful and overcome any barriers that may interfere with their academics.  The PROs will attend the new Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR) sessions to provide information about the PRO Mentor Program and their contact information.  For additional information about the PRO Mentor Program, contact Admissions & Retention, 425-352-8534
