The university's Uncommon Scholarship program provides financial support specifically to adult and online learners. These scholarships -- ranging in value from $150 to $500 per three-credit course -- are open to employees of certain corporate, school, and church partners, as well as Concordia alumni. Admission to a bachelor's program at the university requires a high school GPA of at least 2.5 and either an ACT score of at least 19 or an SAT score of at least 940.
