Concordia Language Villages - Scholarship Forms

Scholarship Forms

The scholarships listed below are only for summer youth programs, the summer Finnish family week and the Language Discovery Programs.

All scholarships are made possible by donations from current and former villagers, parents, friends, ethnic organizations, businesses, foundations and current and former staff members. We are grateful to all who support the scholarship fund.

The scholarships available are listed below according to language, application requirements, and programs. The majority of scholarships are need-based awards. Need is determined through a calculation that considers family size and adjusted gross income (AGI). We encourage all families who have financial need to apply. You only need complete the Global Citizen Scholarship application one time.

• In 2009, 603 villagers received Global Citizen Scholarships from Concordia Language Villages.
• Approximately 60 percent of the total applicant pool receives scholarships.
• 85 percent of scholarships go to families with an AGI under $40,000
• The average recipient’s AGI is $25,000
• Applicants will be notified by April 1.
• If you wish to cancel your registration based on financial constraints, your deposit will be refunded until April 30, 2010. Cancellations after April 30 will be assessed a cancellation fee. The complete payment policies are noted on the youth registration form.
