Financial aid helps you and/or your parents to meet basic educational expenses for an academic degree, a professional technical degree, or a certificate program. While the primary responsibility for paying for college rests with you and your family, Cascadia offers many resources to help you.

Cascadia administers financial aid in accordance with established state and federal regulations and policies.

Apply for a scholarship. The Cascadia Community College Foundation and other local organizations offer scholarships just for Cascadia students. We also list statewide and nationwide scholarship resources.

Apply for other aid. Receive a grant, work in exchange for tuition, or borrow money.

Claim tax credits. You may qualify for federal tax credits for certain out-of-pocket tuition and related expenses.
