OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Completing the Notre Dame financial aid application process will ensure consideration for all sources of need-based assistance. Recognizing that every family’s situation is unique, the Office of Financial Aid is committed to a thorough and individual review of each application for financial assistance. Our review considers many factors including size of household, number in college, assets, and special circumstances.
To give you a sense of how your family could fund a Notre Dame education, the chart below reflects the class entering in 2020. The median (amount that falls in the middle) and range should give you an idea of the need-based scholarship commitment the University has made to reduce the price a family will pay.
