Financial Aid

<p>How generous is ND with financial aid? I have seen places to calculate how much you will receive on other school's websites. Has anyone seen this on ND's site?</p>

<p>well it's entirely calculated based on need. Is there someplace to look it up on their site? There wasn't when I applied and I haven't heard of it being a new feature to their site in the time that I've been up here. If this is no longer true, feel free to correct this irish or anyone else....</p>

<p>As to was the need I got enough? I'll graduate with about 21k in loans to my name. They were all subsidized so I wasn't having to pay interest when in school and compared with total cost of admission, this isn't bad. That having been said, my parents still had to make a few sacrafices for me to come here, since what the University said we could pay; and what is feasible because of medical issues within family are two different numerical ranges....</p>

<p>Can anyone with any experience with this tell me how close ND usually is to the FAFSA EFC? The number I got from the FAFSA was right in line with what I'm going to need to be able to attend, so I'd appreciate any input.</p>

<p>You almost have to ignore the FAFSA, because ND also requires the CSS Profile. Most likely, if the FAFSA was okay, you'll be fine. Our FAFSA had us paying a lot more than we do at Notre Dame.</p>

<p>I think you just have to wait and see to be sure, though. Hang in there.</p>
