Montreal’s Concordia University has announced financial support of up to $4,000 for incoming out-of-province students in hopes of addressing concerns that a new government-imposed tuition increase will price them out of Quebec.

In a Dec. 22 news release, Concordia said undergraduate students starting next fall will be automatically considered for the new Canada Scholars Awards, which will be renewable for the duration of a student’s degree, so long as they maintain their academic standing.
