Your Next Step Starts Here: Apply for Free This October

Applying to college can feel like a lot. There are applications to complete, transcripts to send, financial aid to think about, and plenty of decisions to make along the way.

My advice? Take it one thing at a time.

And this October, you can start by applying to Concordia University Texas for free using promo code FREE.

Throughout the month of October, first-year and transfer students can submit their application to Concordia Texas without paying an application fee. If CTX has been on your list, this is a great time to take that first step.

Why Apply to Concordia Texas in October?

One thing I always tell students is not to wait until the last minute if you don’t have to.

Applying early gives you more time to work through everything else that comes with choosing a college. Once your application is submitted, you can focus on sending your transcripts, looking into financial aid and scholarships, visiting campus, and learning more about the program you’re interested in.

And remember, you don’t have to have everything figured out before you apply.

Students ask us questions all the time. What do I need to send? What happens after I apply? What scholarships could I qualify for? Will my credits transfer?

Ask those questions! That’s what your admissions counselor is here for. We can help you understand what you need, what comes next, and what you should be working on.

Give Yourself Time to Look at Financial Aid

College is a big investment, so make sure you give yourself time to understand your financial aid options.

Applying in October gives you a chance to start looking into scholarships and financial aid early. You can also begin working on your FAFSA and reach out to our team if you have questions along the way.

When you complete the FAFSA, make sure to include Concordia University Texas using our school code, 003557.

And don’t be afraid to ask questions about financial aid. It can be confusing, especially if this is your first time going through the process. You’re not expected to know everything. Our team is here to help you understand your options.

Thinking About Transferring?

Free Application Month is for transfer students, too.

In admissions, one thing I’ve learned is that everyone’s transfer journey looks a little different.

Maybe you started at a community college and you’re ready to move to a four-year university. Maybe you’re already at another university and realized it isn’t the right fit. Or maybe life happened, you stepped away from school, and now you’re ready to finish what you started.

No matter what brought you to this point, make sure you find out how the classes you’ve already taken can help you move forward.

At Concordia Texas, our admissions team can help evaluate your credits, talk through your degree plan, and help you understand what your path to graduation could look like.

The work you’ve already done matters. Make sure you ask how those credits can work for you.

Take Time to Find the Right Fit

Applying is an important step, but don’t forget that you’re also choosing where you’re going to spend the next few years.

Do your research.

Look at your academic program. Visit campus if you can. Check out clubs and organizations. Talk with an admissions counselor. Ask questions about what your day-to-day experience could look like.

You can learn a lot about a university online, but visiting campus and talking with the people who are there every day can help you decide if you can see yourself there.

Everyone’s college journey is different, so think about what matters most to you and what you want your college experience to look like.

So, take that first step and start your application. We can help you with the rest.
