Finish Line Grant

Finish Line Grant

The purpose of the Finish Line Grant is to assist eligible former Concorde students wanting to earn their educational credential and who face documented financial barriers that may otherwise prevent them from completing their program. 

The Finish Line Grant is intended to help remove institutional financial barriers for students who are approved for re-entry and meet the published eligibility criteria. Grant assistance is provided to support completion of the student's educational program and is administered in accordance with established institutional policies and available funding.

Approved grant funds are applied to the student's account upon graduation to satisfy eligible institutional charges associated with the student's educational program. The grant cannot create a credit balance or result in a cash payment to the student.

Former students approved for re-entry who begin classes during the published grant period will be awarded the grant if they qualify on a first-come, first-served basis.

To qualify for this grant:

  • Must have withdrawn prior to 08/01/2026
  • Grant period: August 2, 2026, through October 1, 2026 
  • Students must commence classes before October 1st
  • Documented financial need
  • Must be approved for re-entry with current re-entry approval process
  • Cannot be in a “Dismissed for conduct” status

Core students can qualify for $1,500 and clinical students can qualify for $3,000 towards tuition, books, and fees. This grant cannot be used for indirect costs; therefore, a stipend cannot be issued if the award exceeds the balance owed.

This grant will be packaged in the student’s financial aid plan and will be disbursed to the student’s account once the student graduates from the program.  If the student withdrawals prior to graduation, this grant will be cancelled and will not be processed to the student’s account, and the student will be responsible for the balance.
