Scholarships for American Indian Students


We encourage all of our Native students to pursue scholarship/grant assistance as a means of financing their education.


CONCORDIA COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS
The following are Concordia-sponsored scholarships for American Indian students. Concordia offers many other scholarships as well.

Bishop Whipple Scholarship
Designated for any American Indian student enrolled at Concordia, this award is based upon a combination of financial need and academic achievement.

Dr. Edmund T. Bott Scholarship
Based upon financial need and academic achievement, preference for this award is given to individuals of American Indian descent.
