Tuition and Assistance

Almost $1.7 million in need-based financial aid given to students for the 2023-2024 school year.

Concordia Prep is committed to providing affordable access to a Concordia Prep education. The school offers need-based and merit-based aid. To be eligible for financial aid consideration annually, new families must complete a financial aid application for a financial award to be considered. Since a family’s economic and financial circumstances change from year to year, our finance committee must review the family’s financial needs qualifications each year. 

The Concordia Prep School Financial Aid Application will go Live on October 1, 2024. The Deadline to apply is Friday, December 20, 2024.

FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment will be conducting the financial need analysis for Concordia Preparatory School for the 2025-2026 school year. 
 
Priority will be given to families with a completed and verified Financial Aid Application before the deadline of December 20, 2024. Any applications submitted after the deadline must be verified by January 10, to be considered for Financial Assistance for the 2025-2026 school year. 

The Concordia Preparatory School Tuition Assistance Committee makes decisions on the amount of financial aid awarded and communicates those at the time of acceptance. Recipients are notified by email/mail. All financial information and the identity of students seeking and receiving financial assistance is kept confidential.
 
All financial assistance is awarded on an annual basis. Concordia Prep School also offers merit and co-curricular scholarships. We care deeply for our families and hope that the financial assistance offered will allow families to be part of Concordia Preparatory School in the coming school year.

There is a good balance of faith in everything that’s done at CPS which supports our values at home. CPS provides consistency with expectations around behavior and issues consequences that match the behavior, we love that! Our kids love spending time at school, and they love being involved in all that they can! We truly couldn’t be happier with the choice we made to send our three to CPS!
