Concord Financial Aid

The Financial Aid Office and Student Support Services will be hosting FAFSA workshops throughout the spring semester. If you need assistance, please join us on April 7 from 11AM to 6PM at the computer lab on the second floor of the Beasley Student Center!

  • Concord University students of any major with strong writing skills who plan to re-enroll at CU in the 2025-2026 academic year (or in Summer/Fall 2025) are invited to apply for the Roth Memorial Scholarship. Application deadline is March 31, 2025.

Concord University has long been committed to improving student access and completion, particularly for low income and first-generation students in rural Appalachia. We provide generous scholarship opportunities which help make higher education more accessible.

Shawn Hatcher '20
Princeton, W.Va.

Shawn is a second generation Mountain Lion, but that is only one detail that finalized his decision to choose CU after graduating from Pikeview High School in 2017. The university also had the program of study he wanted, and its location meant Shawn could commute to save money. He graduated in fall 2020 with a Business Administration degree with concentrations in management and finance. When Shawn wasn't in class, you could find him working in the business office as a work-study in the Accounts Payable office. Shawn says the real life experiences that professors share and the work experience he has received at Concord has prepared him for being the CU PCARD/Travel Coordinator. Education aside, Shawn says his favorite part about Concord is the people. “It felt like home from the time I stepped on the campus in 2017,” Shawn says. “Most of everyone is relaxed and will help out if you are in need.”

Madison Dye
Psychology Major

Madison Dye, class of 2024, went to Oak Hill High School. Her main activities in addition to her studies include cheerleading, walking her dog, and working. She began attending Concord University in 2021, and chose a psychology major with an emphasis in criminology. Madison chose CU because it’s a legacy in her family, following in the footsteps of her father, grandparents, and beyond, who all attended Concord. Some of her favorite memories of her time at Concord revolve around competing at Disney with the cheer team! When asked about something many don’t know about her, she relates, “In high school, I took a four-year course and completed various trainings for an aerospace engineering program learning how to operate a flight simulator!”
