Incoming Freshman Essay Scholarship

Sion offers scholarships to support the incoming class of 2030 ranging from $500 to $2,500. These scholarships are awarded based on essays submitted in response to the prompt below:

Notre Dame de Sion High School believes that moments of significant learning are achieved through experiences that allow students to connect to the real world, assert their independence, embrace ambiguity, and change their perception of the world. By connecting each student with her unique purpose, Sion graduates students who are well-rounded individuals, faith-filled global citizens, and servant leaders.

Please share what being a well-rounded individual, a faith-filled global citizen, and/or a servant leader means to you and why you have selected to apply to Notre Dame de Sion’s incoming Class of 2031.

Need-Based Financial Aid

Notre Dame de Sion awarded over $1.2 million in financial assistance to 185 families at the High School in the 2025-26 academic year. Awards are made based on an analysis of a family’s financial need by an independent agency, an assessment of a student’s potential for academic success at Sion, and the School’s desire for a diverse and well-rounded student community.

Financial assistance at Sion is made possible by the generosity of donors including alumnae/alumnae families, current families, foundations and individuals committed to providing educational opportunities for deserving students.

Financial Aid Application Details

We partner with Ravenna Solutions in our financial aid process. To begin your financial aid application, you will complete the Ravenna Solutions Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) then submit the required documents for our school indicated below.

The PFS is a comprehensive application that will take some time to complete. Give yourself the time you need by not waiting until our deadline approaches. You’ll need your most recent tax return before beginning the PFS. We also recommend reviewing Ravenna Solutions resources to help families with the financial aid process. They are found at http://www.solutionsbysss.com/parents.

To make our decision, we use the information from the PFS as a starting point and consider our school policies, practices, and available budget.
