The Mazamas offers tuition assistance to ensure that individuals from all types of financial situations can attend our programs. 

“I cannot say thank you enough to all those that have contributed to the scholarship fund, it has given me and others the opportunity that we may not have otherwise been financially able to do. I am forever changed by this scholarship and able to experience the outdoors like I never have before.”

Prospective Applicants

The Mazamas believes in making high-quality education accessible so everyone can love and protect the mountains. Finances shouldn't be a barrier to taking a course — tuition assistance is available for most educational programs.

How to Apply

Tuition assistance applications are part of each individual class application. All requests are reviewed and tuition assistance packages are communicated ahead of enrollment, giving applicants time to make an informed decision before committing — cards are not charged until acceptance. Payment plans are also available for select courses.

What's Covered

Tuition assistance covers course tuition only, up to 70% of the class cost. Other course-related expenses may apply; see the course home page for full costs and logistics.
