Like any other college or university, College of Notre Dame expects you to pay what you can for your education. But beyond that lies another, even greater set of possibilities in the form of financial aid. And there’s a lot of it available.
The first step is to find out what’s available and your own eligibility. Financial aid is awarded on the basis of need or on merit—your achievements in academics, athletics, or elsewhere. Different kinds of financial aid—from grants and scholarships to work-study and student loans—should be reviewed. Even private businesses and corporations can be sources of aid.
But applying early matters! The hunt for financial aid can be competitive, so it makes sense to file all your funding applications as soon as possible, especially the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which makes you a candidate for all different types of student aid.
It’s your future—and by combining a mix of the best resources out there, you can put together a financial aid package that helps pay for it.
