Tuition Assistance

daughters would otherwise be unable to attend Notre Dame.
Families received assistance totaling $830,000 for the 2009
– 2010 school year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are financial aid decisions made?
Once all required documentation is submitted to PSAS and Notre
Dame High School, including the current year Federal Income
Tax Return, recommendations for tuition assistance will be
based on the report from the Private School Aid Service, tax
return, and amount of funds available that year for financial
support.The amount of financial aid awarded varies from year
to year. Families
received assistance totaling $830,000 for the 2009
– 20010 school year.
Are financial aid awards renewed annually?
No. Applications must be submitted annually with current information
in order for a family to be eligible for assistance each year.
How am I assured that my application is handled in a confidential
manner?
Reports generated from Private School Aid Service for financial
aid are mailed directly to the Finance Office. In addition,
completed documents are kept only in Finance Office files.
When recommendations are submitted to the Finance Committee,
all names are withheld.
What if I missed the PSAS deadline?
Meeting all deadlines is critical. Families applying for financial
aid should plan to file their tax returns early. Do not
wait until your daughter is admitted to apply for financial
aid. As there is a limited amount of funds to disburse, late
applicants may find there is no financial aid available.
If we are divorced or separated, do both parents need to
apply for financial aid?
Yes. Both parents need to submit financial aid forms and tax information.
