Financial Aid

Your education is priceless. Together, we can make Notre Dame affordable.

Notre Dame of Maryland University offers grants, scholarships, loans, and federal Work-Study funds to eligible entering and continuing students. About 95 percent of Women’s College students, 35 percent of undergraduates in the College of Adult Undergraduate Studies , 30 percent of graduate students and 97 percent of our Pharmacy students  receive need-based and/or non-need-based financial aid.

Students must reapply for aid each subsequent year, beginning in January. Most financial aid is renewable, provided that the student continues to meet federal and university eligibility criteria. 

You can find more information about eligibility, costs, and the financial aid awarding process at Notre Dame by following the links on this page. For information about applying for aid, see the How to Apply section.
