Other Helpful Information

You must be enrolled as a full time student (at least 12 credits) to receive the financial aid that has been awarded to you (15 credits for Minnesota Grant).

If your family resources become strained, contact the Financial Aid Office about supplemental loan programs. If your financial situation is substantially worse, you may choose to appeal your financial aid.

Concordia retains the right to revise the aid package if other resources or external financial aid become available or the financial information originally submitted is incorrect. The college will also increase the aid package if unusual circumstances merit the change and if funds are still available.
