Concordia University Texas to lower tuition Concordia University Texas ocials announced tuition and fees will be reduced by almost 40% next school year to make higher education more aordable and accessible in Central Texas. The overview Ocials from Concordia University Texas, a private Christian university in Austin, unveiled The Right Call Initiative Oct. 25, which will reduce tuition from $35,750 this school year to $23,500 for the 2024-25 school year. Tuition next year will also cover all required fees and text- book costs, said Kristi Kirk, Concordia University Texas provost and executive vice president. “For many of our families, higher education feels out of reach; it feels unattainable,” Kirk said. “We at Concordia are committed to chang- ing that perception.”

The approach The initiative will create greater transparency around the true cost of attendance, Kirk said. The university has historically charged high tuition rates but provided large scholarships and nancial aid allocations, which can confuse families and deter them from pursuing higher education, she said. Concordia will now oer less scholarships and nancial aid, Kirk said.
