Tuition Assistance

A Notre Dame education is an investment in your child’s future and requires careful financial planning and considerable sacrifice for many families. We are committed to making a Notre Dame education affordable for the largest number of young women possible, and as such have always provided tuition assistance to families in need. To the extent that our funds permit, tuition assistance is available to admitted students whose parents are able to demonstrate financial need, which is determined by a thorough evaluative process beginning with an online application through TADS, an independent financial aid processor, and a supplementary application for financial assistance. We evaluate a family’s ability to pay tuition based on a variety of factors including income, net worth, housing costs, etc. Our Tuition Assistance Program is designed to help those families who, even with their sacrifices, are unable to meet the financial obligation. Through the generosity of our benefactors, we were able to offer tuition assistance to families totaling $710,000 for the 2011-2012 school year.

How to Apply

Families interested in applying for financial aid need to complete all of the required forms listed below. Forms will be available on October 21, 2011. Meeting the deadline is critical. Do not wait until your daughter is admitted to apply for financial aid as funding is limited and late applications will not be considered for financial aid.

Scholarship Program

Notre Dame High School also participates in the Archdiocesan Catholic High School Scholarship Program. The San Francisco Archdiocesan Office of Catholic Schools administers this program and awards assistance to qualified applicants. To qualify for this Scholarship, the family must demonstrate financial need and live within the territorial boundaries of the Archdiocese of San Francisco (which includes San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties). You do not need to be Catholic to apply for this scholarship. However, if you are applying you must submit a clergy recommendation from the pastor of your religious affiliation. We encourage all eligible applicants to apply for both the Notre Dame Tuition Assistance Program and the Archdiocesan Catholic High School Scholarship Program.
