Transfer Student Cost and Aid

2026-2027 Academic Year Scholarships

At Concordia University Texas, we are dedicated to ensuring transparency in our approach to awarding institutional aid. Our commitment to clarity begins with our comprehensive scholarship program, comprising two merit-based and three need-based scholarships. These scholarships help transfer students close the gap between their tuition expenses and out-of-pocket costs, making higher education more accessible to all. To facilitate this process, we require students to submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), which allows us to assess their financial needs accurately.

*FAFSA school code: 003557
