International undergraduate students may be eligible for the Global Distinguished Scholar Award, which provides $8,000 per year in tuition support. Students with a 3.0 GPA equivalent or higher, as determined through an official transcript evaluation completed by Concordia University Texas or, in some cases, a NACES-recognized evaluation provider such as WES, are automatically considered for the award at the time of admission. No separate application is required. The award is applied directly to tuition and may be renewed for up to four years, provided students maintain full-time enrollment and remain in good academic standing.
This award cannot be combined with other institutional aid and is subject to institutional funding and policy guidelines.
