Take the High School Placement Test (HSPT). Taking the test at Notre Dame is highly recommended. Notre Dame will forward test scores to other high schools at the applicant’s request on the test day.
Yes, your student is able to take the HSPT at another school. Your student will have to tell the school to send us their results. Something to keep in mind, if your student tests elsewhere, they are no longer eligible for our only merit based scholarship we offer. It is highly recommended that you take the HSPT at Notre Dame High School (NDHS), as applicants who take the test at NDHS will be considered first. More details will be sent closer to the test date.
The only merit based scholarship we have available is based on our HSPT. Students have to take the test on our campus and score a 95 and above to be automatically awarded the HSPT merit scholarship. We also have financial assistance available which is a separate application and a separate fee.
Once you have submitted and paid for the initial application, it will take our team about two weeks to process. After we have processed your application, a checklist will appear in your application portal with space for recommendations, downloading the transcript release form, and scheduling an interview.
