Partnership to Benefit Concordia University, Central Community College Students

Students will soon have the opportunity to benefit from a new partnership between Concordia University (cune.edu/transfercredit), Nebraska, and Central Community College. The presidents of the two institutions signed an official partnership to solidify financial and educational commitments of their new partnership, effective immediately.

Graduates of CCC who have earned an associate degree and who choose to enroll full-time at Concordia will be awarded no less than $15,000 annually in institutional aid as they pursue their bachelor’s degree at Concordia. In addition, those students will receive a New Horizons Scholarship of $2,000 that stacks incrementally with all other Concordia grants and academic or performance scholarships. Both the Partnership Guarantee and New Horizons Scholarship are renewable annually if students remain in good academic standing at Concordia with a 2.0 GPA or higher. The two institutions agree that students who satisfactorily complete an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree at Central will have completed all general education requirements at Concordia with the exception of religion and theology credits (nine credit hours).

Transfer students will be required to complete a minimum of 30 post-associate degree semester hours at Concordia University, Nebraska and will then be awarded a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree from Concordia University, Nebraska, upon meeting academic requirements.
