Corban Merit Aid

1. Adding up multiple affiliation awards.+

   Corban allows 'ONE (1) scholarship or grant in each category for Academic, Talent, and Affiliation' — a homeschooled PTK alumnus's child gets one affiliation award, not three.

2. Athletes counting on an affiliation award too.+

   The Affiliation category is labeled 'non-athletes choose one' — students taking an Athletic Scholarship (Talent category) are excluded from the affiliation list.

3. Dropping below full-time.+

   'All awards require full-time enrollment' — part-time semesters forfeit institutional awards.

4. Confusing the Presidential and Mosaic ceilings.+

   Presidential is 'Up to full cost of tuition'; only the Mosaic Scholarship reaches 'up to full cost of attendance.' Both are invite-only — you cannot simply apply.

5. Expecting a published GPA grid for the $10,000-$18,000 academic award.+

   Corban publishes only the range; the tuition page says academic scholarships are awarded automatically at application using GPA and optional test scores, but the cutoffs are not public — get your exact figure in the official offer.

6. Assuming the outside-scholarship check timing is flexible.+

   Checks go to Student Accounts, are split 'equally between fall and spring semesters, unless the scholarship specifies otherwise,' and late checks still get processed — but Corban 'will adjust your financial aid package,' so confirm in writing that need-based Corban Grant money is not reduced.

7. Oregon residents missing the OSAC window.+

   Per Corban's outside-scholarship timeline, the OSAC application opens November 1 with a final deadline of March 1; the Ford Family Foundation application opens December 1 and closes March 3.

DRAFT: Every full-time admit gets a five-figure academic award automatically; church-connected, homeschooled, ACSI/ACCS, and PTK students add one affiliation award; top invited students compete for the full-tuition Presidential or full-COA Mosaic.

Every tier below is sourced to the school’s own published financial aid pages. Renewal terms apply only if the student maintains the stated GPA.

Corban's structure is explicit: ONE scholarship or grant in each of the Academic, Talent, and Affiliation categories (non-athletes choose one Affiliation; Talent and Affiliation are alternatives for athletes since Affiliation is marked 'non-athletes choose one'). 'Additional Aid' awards (Corban Grant, $500 Visit Scholarship, $500 FFA Officer Award), outside scholarships, and federal aid 'may be added on top of this.' Outside checks are split equally between fall and spring unless the scholarship specifies otherwise.

The page affirms outside scholarships add on top of category awards. Caveat: the Outside Scholarships FAQ says Corban will 'adjust your financial aid package' when a check arrives — most plausibly meaning the award is added, but whether need-based Corban Grant can be reduced is not stated; flagged as a question in Section C. All awards require full-time enrollment.

• What is the scholarship deadline?

  Corban's institutional academic awards are automatic at application (no posted deadline). For outside aid, Corban's posted timeline: FAFSA opens October 1; OSAC (Oregon) opens November 1 with a March 1 final deadline; Ford Family Foundation runs December 1-March 3.

• How much academic scholarship will I get?

  2026-27 freshmen: $10,000-$18,000; transfers: $9,000-$14,000. The tuition page adds that 'Every new student will receive at least a $9,000 academic scholarship.' Exact placement within the range is not published.

• Do outside scholarships reduce my Corban aid?

  Corban's scholarships page says outside scholarships and federal aid 'may be added on top' of your category awards. The outside-scholarships FAQ notes Corban will 'adjust your financial aid package' when a check arrives — ask the aid office to confirm no Corban grant is displaced.
