What Concordia University International Tuition Award of Excellence actually covers.
The Concordia University International Tuition Award of Excellence is a standout financial support mechanism for international undergraduate and graduate students entering Concordia University in Montreal. What makes this award particularly compelling is its structure: rather than a fixed cash amount, it reduces international student tuition to the Quebec resident rate — a reduction equivalent to approximately CAD 39,000 in total savings across a four-year program. This makes studying in Canada at one of its most culturally vibrant cities dramatically more affordable. Concordia is a comprehensive public university in Montreal, known for its strong programs in fine arts, business (John Molson School of Business), computer science, engineering, and communications. Montreal is also one of Canada's most affordable major cities and is home to a large and welcoming African and Caribbean community. International students from all countries, including those from Sub-Saharan Africa, are eligible to apply for Concordia's range of scholarships. Concordia is also specifically named as a partner institution in Canada's Study in Canada Scholarships (SICS) program for students from Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, and Uganda. African students at Concordia also benefit from an active community of international students, strong career services, and access to Montreal's thriving tech and creative industries. For students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance and are committed to their programs, Concordia's scholarship ecosystem provides meaningful pathways to affordable world-class education in Canada.
