CUC is grateful for current service members and veterans and is supportive of those who would like to start or continue their education.
Multiple financial programs are available to assist veterans and their dependents in achieving a college education. The Post-9/11 GI Bill® provides educational assistance to individuals who served on active duty on or after September 11, 2001. One such program under The Post-9/11 GI Bill® is the Yellow Ribbon program, in which Concordia-Chicago is a participating institution.
In addition to the VA benefits, current service members and veterans may also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is used to determine your eligibility for federal student financial aid, including grants, loans and work-study programs. In addition, it is used by the state of Illinois and Concordia University Chicago to determine eligibility for need-based grants.

Institutional accreditation is an indicator of quality. Accreditation is granted to institutions that have gone through comprehensive reviews and have demonstrated strict adherence to accreditation standards in degree programs, courses, faculty, administration, and student support services. The institution must provide high quality education in order to qualify for and receive accreditation.
