She wrote, “‘He that is greatest among you shall be your servant’ is the language of the Great Teacher. To serve is regarded as a divine privilege as well as a duty by every right-minded man.” Conscious of the words of its founder but with an ever-present vision of its future, today CCA’s mission is to “prepare students through a Christ-centered education for lives of responsible service in the Church, community and world.” The college, with its distinctive Christian orientation, offers programs and services that appeal regionally, nationally and internationally.

Concordia College Alabama, formerly Alabama Lutheran Academy and College, evidences one of the most important and historically prolific missions of the Lutheran Church in America. Founded in 1922 by Dr. Rosa Young, its origin identifies it in the annals of American history as a Historically Black College/ University (HBCU). Today, CCA boasts a student body, faculty and staff representing a diversity of geographic, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, and it holds the distinction of being the nation’s only historically black Lutheran college. CCA encompasses approximately 60 acres in historic Selma, the county seat of Dallas County, approximately 50 miles west of Montgomery and 90 miles south of Birmingham. It serves as the gateway to Alabama’s Black Belt. The impact of Selma’s history on the Black Belt, the state and the nation spans from the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement, serving as the beginning site for the historic Selma to Montgomery March. James Edward Gildersleeve, (1918-2004) and Ulysses Blackmon (1930-1990), two of the “courageous eight” and signers of the letter written by the Dallas County Voter’s League inviting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) to a mass meeting to defy a court injunction prohibiting more than three “Negroes from gathering in Selma,” were both faculty members at Alabama Lutheran Academy and College, now CCA. $9,920 17:1 bassadors; Spiritual Life Team; Student Government Association; Student Activities Club; International Club; Student Alabama Education Association (SAEA); Lutheran Education Association (LEA); Drama Club; Social Work Club. Career Development CCA’s Counseling Center offers career and personal counseling, aptitude tests, interest and personality inventories, and experiential learning opportunities.

History Annual tuition* + $200 $5,600 Fees Room & board *Out-of-state tuition is the same as in-state. Free Application fee is waived when you apply online. The mass meeting culminated in the events of March 7, 1965, and became known as “Bloody Sunday,” which resulted in a surge of national support for the Civil Rights movement. On August 6, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law. Founded in 1820 on the banks of the Alabama River, Selma boasts the largest contiguous historic district in the state, including Bakke and Lynn Halls, the first two buildings built for what was then Alabama Lutheran Academy when it moved to its original campus in 1925. The buildings are still in use today. The Selma Military Institute, which was built in 1905 and later became known as the United Methodist Children’s Home, and its surrounding 37 acres is now the site for CCA’s administrative buildings, residential cottages and Christ Chapel. Additional Selma historical sites include the St. James Hotel, an operational riverfront hotel built in 1837 and rumored to have had the infamous Jesse James as a guest; the DawsonVaughan House, home of Elodie Todd, sister-in-law of Abraham Degrees Offered: A.A., B.S.

A Zimmerman Library transformation has allowed for the creation of a computer sciences laboratory and the development of a computer sciences major. Future work to remodel the popular Kreft Fine Arts Center is being considered, while a new football stadium and field house expansion is under development as enhancement of collegiate athletics continues.

At Concordia University, Irvine, a U.S. News Top Tier Regional University, we help you discover and develop your God-given gifts in a beautiful Southern California location and through a distinctive educational experience. Grace Alone. Faith Alone. You might be surprised that Concordia University, Irvine, does things a bit differently than some other Christian universities. For example, you are not required to attend chapel, sign a faith statement or minor in theology. As a Lutheran Christian university, we take the idea of “Grace Alone, Faith Alone” to heart. Watch our “Grace Alone, Faith Alone” video: www.cui.edu/gracealone. The Core Curriculum Concordia is among a select group of universities that offers a common, coherent core curriculum for all of its students. Rather than asking students to cobble together a meaningful general education experience from a vast array of disconnected courses, our core curriculum is carefully crafted so that every student sees the purpose of a liberal arts education and grows intellectually, ethically and spiritually. Concordia’s Core is comprised of classic liberal arts courses offered in small, innovative learning communities. Students take Core courses in linked pairs: biology with theology, mathematics with philosophy, and history with literature. You’ll find that everything connects and meshes together in amazing ways. Watch how our students experience the Core: www.cui.edu/core.

Application Process Financing a Concordia University System Education A private college/university education is affordable. Colleges/universities publish a list of costs (tuition, fees, board, room, etc.) but the real cost (price) is individualized based on a family’s ability to pay the educational expenses. Financial Aid Private colleges/universities provide financial aid to assist the student financially. In many instances, financial aid packages will provide close to half the cost of the educational expense. Students should first apply for financial aid during their senior year in high school (early in the senior year but no later than February). An important component of the financial aid application is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available in your public library, in the school counselor’s office or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Much of the information requested on the FAFSA comes directly from your federal tax return. Complete the family tax return before the financial aid deadlines. Some schools require additional information from the Financial Aid Profile. The Profile is sponsored by the College Scholarship Service, whose guides are available at high Complete your federal tax return as early as possible. (If you are unable to complete your federal tax return in time to meet the financial aid application deadlines, estimate the information as precisely as possible.) Complete the FAFSA and have the results sent to the school(s) to which you are applying. (You will receive an acknowledgment after completing the FAFSA. Verify that the information shown is accurate and submit any corrections immediately.) If required, complete the Profile and all financial aid application forms requested by the school. Schools have their own scholarship funds that most often require filling out a specific application form. Remember, each family’s situation is different. Schools will require filling out all admission forms before financial aid packages are prepared and announced. Schools will notify you of their admission decisions and make financial aid offers. After receiving and accepting a financial aid award, make a deposit to the school of choice to hold your place in the first-year class. An early down payment on tuition and board/room will secure a place in the school. Flexible Payment Plans Most schools provide for a flexible payment plan — quarterly or monthly — to ease the cash flow burden on the family. Ask the financial aid officers what school plans are available. What’s Included in a Financial Aid Package? Using the information you provide on the FAFSA and Profile, schools calculate a financial aid package using a predetermined formula to assess your family’s financial need and what you 24 should be able to pay. The basic financial aid package starts with aid based solely on need. Merit-based awards recognize a student’s achievements — academic or exceptional accomplishments — which are exclusive of need. Financial aid packages may include the following: >> Need-based grants. >> Merit scholarships (based on standardized test scores; academic achievement; exceptional accomplishments in areas like music, drama, choir, mathematics, science, sports, etc.). >> Federally subsidized, low-interest loans, such as the Perkins or Stafford loans. (These loans are repayable by the student with interest after graduation or when the student is no longer enrolled in school at least half time.) >> Work-study — the opportunity to take a part-time, on-campus job for a certain number of hours per week. Financial Aid Estimator You can estimate what kind of financial aid you will qualify for online at www.finaid.org, using the site’s financial aid calculator. For more help in planning your finances, you can also contact the school to which you are applying or refer to the website for Lutheran colleges and universities in North America at www.lutherancolleges.org.

Through the consortium, students attending a Concordia member campus will be able to study abroad for a semester-long experience with the value-added opportunity of guidance by a faculty member from one of the Concordias along with other students from within the Concordia University System. The presence of a Concordia faculty member will help students view the international experience through the lens of a Lutheran Christian perspective. Study in international settings is highly regarded by students, parents and faculty. In this global world in which we live, employers seek individuals who understand and integrate cultural differences into the work environment. CISC Study Abroad Semester Spring 2015 will be in South Africa at Stellenbosch University. While studying at Stellenbosch University, students also will have an opportunity to participate in a six-day tour of the Garden Route and visits to the Congo caves; crocodile, cheetah and ostrich farms; an elephant park; the Featherbed Nature Reserve; and Tsitsikamma National Park.
