Financial Aid
Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Education, and Vocation and Ministry

Philosophy

Concordia is committed to providing financial assistance that will ensure educational access for all eligible students.

Awards of financial aid will be made after students have been accepted for admission, and all required information has been received. Aid awards are based on the number of credits taken and may be adjusted according to changing circumstances, the availability of funds, and the students' maintenance of satisfactory progress.

Concordia cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in the awarding of scholarships, grants, loans, and work assistance to qualified students. Students receiving financial aid have the right to:

• apply for and receive fair and equitable consideration for financial aid based on eligibility and availability of funds.
• discuss eligibility with a financial aid staff member.
• request consideration for unique and extenuating financial circumstances.
• appeal decision regarding eligibility.
• request information regarding his/her loan indebtedness and repayment options.
• Students receiving financial aid have the responsibility to:
• read and respond to all information from the financial aid office in a timely manner.
• be informed about application processes and eligibility requirements and apply annually by published deadlines.
• maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress as defined in the Concordia academic catalog.
• inform the financial aid office of receipt of any third party scholarships.

Application Procedures

All students applying for financial aid must complete the following steps each year:

1. New students and former Concordia students not currently enrolled at Concordia must be accepted for admission before financial aid can be awarded.
2. New students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA will provide instructions on how to have your financial information sent to the university (Concordia's code is 002347). Returning students complete personalized renewal applications which are sent by the federal government to their permanent e-mail/address through December. If a renewal application is not received, returning students should complete the FAFSA, available at FAFSA.ed.gov. This application must be submitted every year.
3. Complete Concordia's Financial Aid Application form and submit it to the financial aid office in the Bear Center. The application must be submitted every year.

Church Vocation Students

Church Vocation Scholarships are available to those students enrolled in an undergraduate church work program in the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education, or College of Vocation and Ministry. To receive this scholarship, students must apply to their home church district and to their home congregation. Contact the pastor or Concordia for details. Submit written response to the financial aid office.

Current Concordia Students

Due to the limitation of funding, applications from current Concordia students must be submitted by May 1 for full consideration for Concordia aid. When budgeted funds have been expended, applications will be processed for federal and state aid only. All information is strictly confidential and will be exchanged only with other aid-granting organizations unless otherwise permitted.

Eligibility

To maintain eligibility for financial assistance, students must be enrolled for at least six credits per semester. Students enrolled for 3-5.5 credits may qualify for Pell Grant or MN State Grant only. In addition, students must not owe a repayment on any Title IV aid or be in default on a Perkins Loan and/or a Direct/Guaranteed/Federally Insured Loan.

Financial aid awards are made for one academic year (fall and spring semesters) unless otherwise requested. Application procedures must be completed each year financial aid is requested. Students must be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens.

Summer School Financial Aid

Limited financial aid is available for summer school at Concordia. To be considered for summer assistance, students must submit the Concordia summer school financial aid application, which is available after April 1. In addition, the FAFSA must be on file in the financial aid office.

Satisfactory Progress

Each student at Concordia must maintain satisfactory progress to receive financial aid. Minimum requirements for satisfactory progress are found in the academic policy section of this catalog. In addition to the credit and CGPA requirements, a student must earn a degree or certificate within a prescribed time frame. For a full-time student, the maximum time frame is:

• Associate degree 3 years (6 semesters)
• Bachelor degree 6 years (12 semesters)
• Graduate degree 27 months (8 semesters)

The maximum time frame is adjusted proportionally for less than full-time students. A transfer student will be placed at the appropriate point in the time frame based on the number of hours of credit accepted from previous institutions toward the current program.

Refund Policy for Financial Aid

If a student received financial aid, but drops below full-time status or terminates their enrollment (e.g., drop-out, withdraw) at Concordia, then the school or the student may be required to return some of the federal funds awarded to the student. If the student received financial assistance from outside of the family, then a portion of the refund will be returned to the grant, scholarship or loan source from which the assistance was received.

If a student will be withdrawing, then the student should complete the "Change of Status". This procedure will enable Concordia to refund the maximum possible institutional charges. Worksheets used to determine the amount of refund or the return of Title IV aid are available upon request from the BEAR Center.

Study Abroad

Students participating in the study abroad opportunities approved by the university (listed in the academic catalog) are considered "in-residence." Most academic and need-based financial aid applies toward study abroad. The only exceptions are work-study, music performance, and athletic scholarships, which require students to be on campus.
