Concordia University attempts to make it possible for all who have the capacity and the desire for a Christian college education to obtain it, regardless of their financial resources. Returning students must apply before May 1st, the Priority Financial Aid Deadline. New students should have their FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) submitted by March 1st. Returning students need only submit the FAFSA, unless instructed otherwise by the Financial Aid Office.
The amount of financial aid awarded is based mainly on the applicant’s financial need. As a general rule, the primary financial responsibility lies with the student (and their parents, if dependant). On the basis of this financial information, the University is able to determine the difference between educational costs and the amount a student can reasonably be expected to provide. This difference is defined as need.
