Concordia Scholarships and Grants
Returning students at Concordia who were awarded scholarships and grants their first year, are eligible to receive those scholarships for subsequent years, based on achieving the necessary GPA for academic scholarship renewal, and in some cases on need (as determined by the FAFSA). Athletic scholarships are based on the coach’s recommendation (of renewal and amount) and on GPA. Other grants require that students be making Satisfactory Academic Progress toward the degree. A complete description of the standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress can be found in the Concordia Catalog. ALL scholarship and grant renewal is contingent upon the student applying by the deadline (May 1st) and upon Concordia University budget considerations. The total value of Concordia scholarships, grants and awards cannot exceed the cost of full annual tuition.
