Speech & Debate Scholarships
Each year, Concordia awards speech and debate scholarships to students who wish to compete on an academic intercollegiate extra-curricular team. This is awarded in addition to other financial aid from Concordia. If you qualify for need-based federal, state or university grants, your award will become part of an award package given by the financial aid department.
The scholarships are awarded to hard-working students on an annual basis who exhibit the potential to make a contribution to Concordia’s speech team, in whatever capacity they fit best.
To qualify for the Preferred Performance Scholarship:
- Apply to Concordia.
- Submit your FAFSA.
- Submit your audition or interview to be considered for a speech scholarship at Concordia University.
Audition or Interview
Concordia’s speech and debate teams are hyper-inclusive and hyper-competitive. If you are committed to helping the team, at whatever level, you can still receive a speech scholarship, even if you’ve never competed in speech or debate before.
To audition, complete one of the following:
- Send a recorded audition to speech team head coach Joe Davis via YouTube link at joseph.davis@cune.edu.
- Send a recorded audition on flash drive sent to Joe Davis, 800 North Columbia Ave, Seward, NE 68434.
- Skype in an audition or interview with Joe Davis
- Audition or interview in person.
