Financial Aid
Cost of Attendance

Cost of Attendance (or financial aid budget) is a combination of direct (such as tuition and fees) and indirect expenses (such as books and personal expenses) that a student will have. Each student’s actual expenses may vary, but cost of attendance provides an estimate of the cost of attending College of Notre Dame for an academic year.

Cost of Attendance is determined using a formula established by the U.S. Congress. All expenses are for the nine-month school year (fall 2009 and spring 2010). The costs are subject to change without notice.
