Priority Scholarship Consideration Deadline

February 1, 2015

The Priority Scholarship Consideration Deadline is right around the corner. In one week actually! Have you submitted your application yet? If you want to be considered for institutional merit-based scholarships (awards from Notre Dame), then you must submit your complete application by February 1. A complete application contains:
  • application(our Online App, Common App, or Universal App)
  • essay
  • letter of recommendation from a teacher or guidance counselor
  • transcript
  • SAT or ACT score report
  • resume (optional, but strongly recommended)
Your high school guidance counselor can send us your letter of recommendation, transcript, and test score report by either fax, email, or mail. The essay and resume can either be submitted within the application or by email to admiss@ndm.edu. If you don't think you can get your application items in before the deadline, but you still want to be considered for institutional scholarships, contact your admissions counselor and let her know.

The deadline is a week away! If you haven't yet started an application, start one now! If you haven't yet asked your guidance counselor to send us your items, ask them on Monday! (Or Tuesday if we have a Snow Day on Monday). The quickest way to send your items is by fax or email. Contact your admissions counselor if you need help.

"Did I submit all of my application items?"

What is a merit-based scholarship?

A merit-based scholarship is awarded based on your grade point average and SAT or ACT test scores. All accepted students are reviewed by the scholarship committee to determine eligibility, there is no separate application for Notre Dame's institutional scholarships.

P.S. The FAFSA Deadline for Notre Dame is February 15, 2015
