Making a Difference

The Making a Difference Scholarship Benefit provides the opportunity for our donors and community partners to support our commitment to providing an exemplary Catholic education to young women from all socio-economic backgrounds.

• 2021-22 Tuition is $20,650. • NDA provides 33% of students with need-based tuition assistance ranging from $1,000 to $20,650; these students would have not been able to attend this year without the financial assistance. • NDA awarded over $1 million in financial support for the 2021-2022 academic year. • Since its inception in 2020, Making a Difference has provided almost $400,000 in tuition assistance.

Tuition assistance allows us to continue offering a seat to those who desire and deserve a challenging, nurturing, and safe educational experience regardless of ability to pay. This year’s event is our first time celebrating together in person as we support tuition assistance. We hope you will join us with fellow alumnae, past and current parents, and friends!

“To all of the benefactors out there, I personally thank you for your generosity and assure you that your dollars are at work - and for a phenomenal cause, at that! This financial support eases the burden placed on families in need and maintains a quality high school education like the one offered at NDA.” “I would not have been able to attend NDA without the financial support of our generous donors. Because of this I have been able to receive a top tier education, as well as a lifelong learning experience, particularly in the areas of service, faith, and leadership.”
