Presidential Scholarship Competition Day
A primary goal within Concordia's mission is the development of servant leaders who reflect the
example of Christ. During the Presidential Scholarship Day, you will be given one hour to write an
essay using a word processor. In the essay, you will be asked to describe your leadership abilities
by describing experiences encountered, your achievements and growth. A personal interview will
also be conducted with a member of Concordia's faculty.
