Financial Aid FAQ

Does Notre Dame offer Financial Aid?
Yes. Notre Dame offers Financial Aid and meets 100% of every student’s demonstrated need. Over 45 percent of all undergraduates receive some form of gift aid from the University. The University of Notre Dame administers a broad array of financial aid programs, including scholarships/grants, loans and work-study in order to meet each student’s demonstrated financial need. In addition, programs are available for families who do not demonstrate financial need but who are interested in investigating various education financing options such as a monthly payment plan, student employment, the Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan, the Notre Dame Undergraduate Loan (NDUL) and the parent PLUS Loan. Both need and non-need based financing options are available. The Office of Financial Aid has compiled a very useful website, detailing tuition costs, financial aid offerings, and additional financing methods. Please visit the Financial Aid website for more information.

Does Notre Dame have a Work-Study program?
Yes. Many students who receive a financial aid package will have the option to enter the work-study program. Both on and off campus work study opportunities are available. The Office of Financial Aid maintains a Job Board listing where the opportunities available for on-campus employment, as well as paid community service and off-campus jobs, are posted.
