Scholarships & Financial Aid

Cascadia has been given a generous endowment through the Christine Cherrington Memorial Scholarship fund to provide both merit scholarships and financial aid to music students who have financial need. We believe cost should never be a barrier to music education, and we encourage all interested students to apply for these scholarship opportunities. 

Financial Aid for Private Lessons

All students, 18 and under, studying with one of our vetted instructors, are eligible for financial aid for private lessons. Financial aid is awarded for a full year of lessons. To be eligible, Cascadia requests that students work with their teacher to maintain a consistent lesson and practice schedule. For an application, or more information about scholarships for remote lessons, please email cascadiamusiceducation@gmail.com. At the end of the year, students may be asked to participate in a survey about their experience.
