FAFSA Filing Deadline - February 15

Filing the FAFSA

The deadline to file the FAFSA for Notre Dame of Maryland University is February 15, the day after Valentine's Day.  We ask you to do this early so that we have ample to process it, help you correct any errors, and create a financial aid package for you. Every school you include on the FAFSA may give you a slightly different package. To include NDMU, use the code 002065.

Your financial aid package from Notre Dame of Maryland University might include grants, loans, and federal work-study.

What if it's not enough?

We work very closely with you to help you understand your financial aid package and determine the actual cost of attendance. The most important aspect of the financial aid process is open communication between you and your family and admissions and the office of financial aid. NDMU has an excellent financial aid website with an abundance of resources: www.ndm.edu/admissions/financial-aid/

Don't forget to keep applying to external scholarships, even if they are small. All of that money adds up and can make a difference. You can find a list here.

Another great resource for finding additional aid for in-state students is the Maryland Higher Education Commision, or MHEC. You can find a list of what they offer here.

If you haven't started your FAFSA yet, go to fafsa.ed.gov

Remember, you can always contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
