• Does Notre Dame High School offer Financial Aid?

  If a student has a strong desire to attend Notre Dame and a demonstrated need, we will do everything we can to make it financially possible. In the 2020-2021 school year, Notre Dame awarded close to $3.5 million in financial aid to Notre Dame families.

• How do we apply for Financial Aid?

  Visit www.mytads.com and follow the link for the Financial Aid Assessment application. Be sure to select Sherman Oaks as the city and Notre Dame High School. Please note the financial aid application is separate from the admission application and both are due on January 18. It is highly recommended that families apply for financial aid during the admissions process. If you wait to see if your student is admitted to Notre Dame, funds will already be allocated to other families.
  

• How do I know if my family qualifies for financial aid?

  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 TADS Financial Aid 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. 

• Is my Financial Aid Award guaranteed each year?

  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 financial aid, the family must reapply each year. 

• Who has access to my financial aid application?

  Notre Dame takes seriously its responsibility to keep all personal and financial information confidential. Information on your financial aid application will only be shared and viewed by the adults listed on the application, your TADS auditor, and Notre Dame's Financial Aid Committee. Information disclosed in your application has no effect on your student's admission to Notre Dame.

• What if I don't have all my documents by January 18?

  Your application will not be reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee until all documents have been received.
