Financial aid:
Financial Aid opportunities for first-year international students are limited, and at the 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 must be submitted at the time of admission illustrating and documenting sufficient financial support to meet the projected cost of a Notre Dame undergraduate education.
Prospective First Year students wishing to be considered for limited need-based financial assistance must first complete an International Certification of Finances along with an International Student Financial Aid Application. Based upon a review of academic qualifications, financial need and availability of student aid resources, an applicant may be considered for financial assistance including a self-help component of a student loan and student employment along with University scholarship assistance. The Certification of Finances and the CSS International Student Financial Aid Application will be reviewed along with the student's admission application.
The Certification of Finances is kept on file for continuing international students outlining the family's annual responsibility to meet educational expenses as a condition of continued enrollment at the University of Notre Dame and for satisfying the U.S. Immigration and Naturaliz |
