In 2020, Concordia announced that it would reset its tuition rate effective Fall 2021. The purpose was to bring clarity and transparency for students about the price they pay for the Concordia experience. Tuition for 2021-22 is $27,500 for all new students and it's guaranteed to not increase more than $1,000 annually. Tuition for 2022-23 will be $28,400.
For continuing students, the process of paying your bill will be very much the same — just with the new tuition amount.
In recent years, many students and their parents have asked: “Why does Concordia charge such a high price and then turn around right away and give scholarships? Why not just charge a straightforward price and cut out the scholarships that are really just a way to bring the cost down from a price that’s so high?”
This change in tuition price is foremost an effort to bring more clarity and transparency to the cost of attending Concordia for current and future students. Concordia is aware of the large number of students who don’t consider enrolling at the college because the price they see is just too high.
This change in our price and aid structure is designed to help all students better realize the actual cost of a year of study at Concordia and the financial aid available to help students afford their Concordia education.
It is effective beginning in Fall 2021 for both new and returning full-time undergraduate students.
The overall cost of room and board at Concordia is set at $9,200 for academic year 2021-22. It is worth noting that the room and board cost at Concordia is lower than most Minnesota private colleges and most higher education institutions in the Upper Midwest region.
Students should complete the Federal Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible. Financial aid award packages for new students will be sent starting in mid-winter. Concordia’s FAFSA code is 002346.
