Applying for a Fifth-Year Scholarship at Concordia
Instructions for students
- Print off and complete these pages: Fifth-Year Scholarship Application form and the form for Fifth-Year Scholarship Graduation Completion. After completing the application, meet with your advisor to review it. Directions for the form are built into the form itself.
- Attach your latest Banner degree evaluation form. If you have indicated that a change and/or additional major or minor, the Banner degree evaluation form should be current for that change.
- Also complete the Fifth-Year Scholarship Graduation Completion form. Two additional copies of the form are needed. Keep one copy, give one copy to your advisor, and take one copy to the director of financial aid for processing. The Fifth-Year Scholarship Graduation Completion form appears below the application.
- Applications for fifth-year scholarships must be submitted by the first class day in April of your senior year. (For 2006, that date is April 1.) Class standing is determined by the Registrar's Office. Students who wish to apply as juniors may do so. Applications should be sent to the director of financial aid.
- The director of financial aid will confer with
- the department chair and dean of the college delivering the program for which the student is requesting the Fifth-Year Scholarship (reasons 1-3 on the application form),
- with the coach and athletic director (reason 4 on the application form), and
- with the dean of student services (reason 5) in cases where the student's program or cumulative GPA may be potentially problematic.
- By April 30 the director of financial aid will notify the student whether the Fifth-Year Scholarship was or was not granted.
- If the Fifth-Year Scholarship application is approved, the student will continue to receive all institutional aid for which she or he is eligible.
- Performance and athletic aid will continue to be awarded as long the student is still eligible to participate in the activity and at the discretion of the awarding department chair or coach.
