FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION
Financial aid opportunities for first-year international students are limited and at present, there is no funding to assist international transfer students. International students should be prepared to finance, either privately or through a sponsor, the full cost of their Notre Dame education. The International Student Certification of Finances, illustrating and documenting sufficient financial support to cover the projected cost of an undergraduate Notre Dame education, must be submitted along with the application for admission. The International Student Certification of Finances is available from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions or on the Financial Aid web site.
Students wishing to be considered for need-based financial assistance must complete an International Student Certification of Finances along with the CSS International Student Financial Aid Application. Based upon a review of academic qualities, financial need, and availability of scholarship resources, a student may be considered for financial assistance, included a self-help component of a student loan and student employment along with University scholarship assistance. The Certification of Finances and the International Student Financial Aid Application will be reviewed along with the student’s application for admission.
Please consult the Office of Financial Aid regarding the opportunities for international student aid if you will be a first-year student.
