Financial Aid Application Overview

The Academy of Notre Dame uses the Clarity Application to determine need-based financial aid eligibility based on a combination of factors, including family income, expenses, assets, and debt. 

Clarity is a mobile-friendly application and typically takes less than thirty minutes to complete. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time.

At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Should you have a current Clarity account for a school other than the Academy of Notre Dame, you can simply add your daughter to your profile as a new applicant.
