Yo! I'm a junior from Indiana and Notre Dame is definitely one of my top choices. I was wondering though - do they offer in-state tuition, or is it the same rate for everyone? I've been hunting around their website but I can't find the answer. Would really appreciate some help!
Hello! Here's the scoop on Notre Dame's tuition system. Notre Dame is a private institution, and as a result, they don't differentiate between in-state and out-of-state students when it comes to tuition. The tuition rate is the same for everyone, regardless of where you're from.
That said, keep in mind that affordability isn't just about sticker price - Notre Dame offers need-based financial aid, as well as merit scholarships, which can bring the cost down significantly. For example, the university guarantees to meet 100% of the demonstrated need for all admitted students, which is quite an impressive commitment.
So, even though there isn't a special in-state rate, there are still opportunities to make attending Notre Dame more affordable. I recommend using the net price calculator on Notre Dame's website to estimate what your own financial aid package might look like.
Hope this helps, and best of luck with your college journey!
