$4,433 |

$6,650 |

Notre Dame de Sion offers a multi-child discount for families
with more than one child. |
Financial Assistance
To be eligible for assistance, parents, or guardians must demonstrate
financial need by completing a Parents’ Financial Statement, which
is available the day of the admissions interview. Each year through the
generosity of alumni, parents, students and friends, Sion is able to offer
financial assistance to students who might not otherwise be able to afford
a private education. About 25% of Sion students receive some form of financial
assistance.
Financial assistance application forms will be available at a family’s
interview following test taking and completion of application. Forms are
available to returning families in February. The forms should be completed
and mailed to the Notre Dame de Sion Business Office for review by the
Finance Committee. Financial assistance decisions should be mailed to families
meeting the filing deadline by early June.
Since financial situations can change from year to year, it is necessary
for families to reapply each year. for financial aid. Applications are
processed in the order they are received. Grants are awarded on the basis
of need and the availability of funds.
The policy for determining the financial need of students is based on
the principle that both parents are responsible for the support and educational
expenses of their children to the extent that they are financially able
to assume responsibility. That principle applies to all parents, including
those who are separated or divorced; therefore, both the custodial and
the noncustodial parent must submit separate financial aid forms.
All families are welcome to apply for financial assistance. Notre Dame
de Sion is committed to enrolling students that reflect a diverse socio-economic,
geographic, ethnic, and religious background. |
