What you need to know
The Concordia Texas Promise program is a scholarship aimed at helping expand access to higher education for students with the highest financial need, according to a news release. After federal, state and institutional aid has already been applied, the program is set to cover remaining tuition costs for eligible undergraduate students from the three counties in the Austin metro.
Scholarship applications for the fall 2025 semester are due June 1, and applications for the spring 2026 semester are due Nov. 1, according to the release.
“We believe that financial barriers should not stand in the way of a student's ability to achieve their academic and career goals,” Concordia President and CEO Kristi Kirk said in the release. “The Concordia Texas Promise is an investment in the potential of our community’s students and in the future of Central Texas.”
How it works
According to the release, to qualify for the Concordia Texas Promise program, applicants must:
- Be a U.S. citizen
- Reside in Travis, Williamson or Hays counties in Texas
- Demonstrate financial need
- Have a student aid index between -1,500 and 3,000 based on Free Application for Federal Student Aid results
- Maintain a minimum unweighted cumulative GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale
- Complete a campus visit or attend a Concordia Texas admissions event
- Enroll full time with a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester
The program will award up to 25 scholarships annually, which are renewable each year given the student continues to meet academic and financial requirements, per the release.
