Creating Your Account
Please visit https://studentfinancialaid.blackbaud.school/and create your account by entering your primary email address as your username. Blackbaud Financial Aid will use this email address to contact you in the event that your application is “on hold” for missing documentation. Once you create your username and password, you will receive a verification email. Once you click the verification link to verify that you are the account holder, you will be able to log in using the username and password you created. Please be advised that if you do not click the verification link that is sent to your email address, you will not be able to log in or reset your password.
Submitting Documentation
Documentation should be submitted at the time the application is completed. Application IDs must be included on all documents. Failure to include your ID will delay processing of your application. Please be advised that each document must be uploaded separately under the appropriate document type in order for your application to automatically move into the review status.
If you created a Blackbaud Financial Aid account to apply for financial aid in a prior year, your application will roll over into the next school year. Your username and password will remain the same, as well as your application ID number (with the exception of the first two digits as that indicate the school year). The Parent/Guardian and Dependents section of the application will be auto-filled for you, you will simply need to confirm the information before advancing to the next sections of the application. If any information from the Parent/Guardian and Dependent section should be updated, please make the necessary changes.
Once your application is processed, a financial aid recommendation will be forwarded to Notre Dame High School. All final financial aid decisions, including notification of an award amount (if any) will be made by Notre Dame High School. If you have not received notification regarding financial aid, contact the financial administrator at Notre Dame High School.
Notre Dame considers many factors when determining each family’s ability to pay. This includes your income, assets, and expenses, including educational costs for other children. Your financial need is the gap between how much Notre Dame determines your family can afford and the cost of tuition. It is impossible for the school to determine how much financial aid a family qualifies for without completing the Blackbaud Tuition Assistance Assessment application and submitting all required documentation. Incoming freshmen will be notified if their family qualified for aid on March 5th when the decision letters are mailed.
Provided family circumstances remain the same and Notre Dame can continue to support the family to the same extent, students will retain their awards throughout their enrollment. However, in order to be considered for tuition assistance, the family must reapply each year.
Notre Dame takes seriously its responsibility to keep all personal and financial information confidential. Information on your tuition assistance application will only be shared and viewed by the adults listed on the application, your Blackbaud auditor, and Notre Dame's Tuition Assistance Committee. Information disclosed in your application has no effect on your student's admission to Notre Dame.
