I received a named scholarship from Concordia because I am a good student, but my total scholarship amount from Concordia remained the same – why didn’t it increase?
Receiving a named scholarship from Concordia is a good thing for many reasons: it demonstrates in a quantifiable way that you are a good student, you can participate and will be recognized in the annual Weekend of Excellence celebration, and it is something you can mention when you leave Concordia as you search for a job or graduate school. It does not, however, increase your total Concordia gift aid – it simply changes the source of funds used to provide your gift aid. Like many schools, Concordia receives gifts from donors, some of which we can use only in certain ways, called restricted funds, and some of which we can use in any way, called unrestricted funds. International Student Scholarships are provided from unrestricted funds, and named scholarships are provided from restricted funds. Receiving a named scholarship will change the source of funds we use to provide your scholarship, but will NOT increase your total scholarship. For more information, please contact Don Buegel. Ple
