Concordia College plans for free tuition next year for families making under $90k

FARGO (KFGO) – Concordia College in Moorhead has announced what the private, liberal arts school is calling the “Concordia Promise.”  

Starting in the fall of next year, Concordia will cover full tuition-costs for new students whose family has an adjusted gross income of under $90,000 a year. 

The tuition costs are also renewable for up to four years.  

Concordia College President Dr. Colin Irvine said: “Reducing the financial burden of education through the Concordia Promise will allow our students to better focus on their mission, their dedication, and their potential to influence the affairs of the world. This is a game-changer for families in our region and across the country who may have thought a private college education was out of their reach.”

“Concordia Promise” includes 100% of standard full-time tuition using a combination of federal and state aid along with existing Concordia scholarships. 

Housing, food, fees, and other associated costs are not included in the tuition program

There is no GPA requirement for the “Concordia Promise.”
