Affordability
Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School is dedicated to maintaining a
student body that is socially and economically diverse. Recognizing
the financial commitment families must make for an NDCL education,
the school has provided over $500,000 in tuition assistance for the
2007-08 academic year. This assistance is awarded according to
demonstrated family need with consideration given to academic
potential and contribution to the school community. Any student
interested in attending NDCL can be considered for tuition
assistance programs.
Qualifying for Assistance Programs
Families should not hesitate in applying for assistance. All
information is confidential and is only used to determine which
families have demonstrated need and should be considered for
assistance. All applications are thoroughly evaluated by a financial
assistance committee and special circumstances are reviewed.
Need-based Financial Assistance
Need-based financial assistance is offered to students whose
families demonstrate financial need. Families must fill out a
Private School Aid Service (PSAS) application annually to be
considered for assistance. PSAS, an independent organization,
analyzes a family’s ability to pay tuition. The analysis is then
sent to NDCL. The amount of assistance a family receives is
determined by the school based on family need and available
resources. In addition to filling out the PSAS form the student
should complete the NDCL scholarship application.
Merit/Placement Test Scholarships
Awards are based on the top incoming freshman scores on the NDCL
placement/merit scholarship tests given in the fall. Scholarships
are four-year renewable awards and require maintaining a grade point
average of 3.50 at NDCL.
