Need-Based Financial Aid
Notre Dame de Sion awarded $1.8 million in financial assistance to over 50% of students in the 2022-23 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.
Applying for Financial Aid
Sion partners with School and Student Services (SSS) in our financial aid process. All families must submit an online Financial Aid Application. There is a $50 fee charged by SSS to apply; a fee waiver may be awarded by SSS based on income.
To begin your financial aid application, you will complete the SSS Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS) then submit the required documents: tax returns, W-2 or 1099 forms and recent pay stub. The PFS is a comprehensive application that will take some time to complete. Give yourself plenty of time prior to the application deadlines. We also recommend reviewing SSS resources to help families with the financial aid process. Need help with submitting your PFS or required documents? Contact SSS Parent Support at (800) 344-8328 or sss@communitybrands.com.
Key information you will need to know about our school as you complete the 2023-24 PFS:
