Tuition, Scholarships, & Financial Aid

An education from the Academy of Notre Dame is the gift of a lifetime for your daughter! The Notre Dame Admissions team recognizes that making this investment looks different for every family. The team is dedicated to working with the parents of our admitted students to explore how the cost of our tuition can fit with their individual family needs. 

Please see details below outlining our robust, need-based Financial Aid program as well as partial Scholarship opportunities. It's never too early to inquire about our tuition assistance program, so we encourage you to contact us with your questions at admissions@ndapa.org or 610 971 0498.
