The Truth About Our Costs

Private education, real value — see the truth about our costs.

We get it. People think we’re expensive. The perception is that the benefits of a private education come with a much higher cost. The truth is, we’ve worked hard in recent years to make a Concordia education affordable for anyone who can see themselves here.

EVERY Concordia student receives a scholarship. This year, our scholarships range from $13,500-$19,500 per year. But what does that mean for real-world tuition costs? We’d love to show you.

Show Me the Money

Our financial aid team customizes a comprehensive aid package for every individual student. In addition to academic scholarships, Concordia offers scholarships based on music, performing arts, and academic interests.

Excellence Scholarship Amounts

Awards are based on EITHER high school GPA or test score – whichever amount is greater. These amounts are for students enrolling at Concordia for the first time in Fall 2027. Excellence Scholarships will be renamed to reflect donor-funded scholarships that align with students’ academic interests.

ACT Score	Award Amount	High School GPA
>=33	$19,500	>=3.97
30-32	$18,500	3.85-3.96
28-29	$17,500	3.7-3.84
26-27	$16,500	3.55-3.69
24-25	$15,500	3.35-3.54
22-23	$14,500	3.01-3.34
<=21	$13,500	<=3.00

Automatic scholarship levels will not be reevaluated after receipt of a comprehensive financial aid package.

Jacob Meyer '24, Nursing Major

I applied to 12 schools, including public and private. Because of the scholarships available to me, I found Concordia to be the least expensive option.
