Hi everyone, Notre Dame is one of my dream schools but I'm a bit worried about the cost. Can someone please tell me how much the tuition at Notre Dame usually is?
The University of Notre Dame has a basic annual cost of tuition of approximately $65,025 for the 2024-2025 academic year. I should note that this tuition cost is just for the instructional part of your education. It does not include the expenses for room and board, books and supplies, or other personal expenses that you'll need to consider. When you add those in, the total cost of attendance rises to approximately $86,125 per year.
Keep in mind though that most students do not actually pay the full sticker price. The University of Notre Dame offers a variety of financial aid options and around 69% of all students receive some form of financial aid. The average need-based scholarship or grant award is approximately $56,000. Thus, although the sticker price might seem high, net cost can be substantially lower depending on your family's financial circumstances.
Before ruling out a college due to cost, I encourage you to use the college's net price calculator. This tool provides a more individualized estimate of what you’ll pay after factoring in financial aid. This may help in understanding what attending Notre Dame might actually cost you.
