The University of Notre Dame will soon give out free tuition to families making less than $150,000 per year.
The university announced the news earlier this week, saying that beginning in the 2026-27 school year, families with an income of less than $150,000 will pay “zero tuition” and families making under $200,000 will receive half their tuition costs.
Calling it a “bold expansion” of their undergraduate financial aid program, the move would also provide students from families with an annual income below $60,000 with “need-based financial aid,” which would cover not just tuition, but also fees, housing and food.
The average cost of tuition at Notre Dame for the 2026-27 school year is $69,280, according to the university’s website. When adding fees, housing, food, supplies and more, the average cost of attendance is estimated at $91,986 per year.
“This announcement reflects the University’s long-standing commitment to ensure a Notre Dame education is affordable and accessible to students from all socioeconomic backgrounds, and this expansion of Pathways to Notre Dame provides the clarity that families need during the admissions process,” the university said in a release.
The “Pathways to Notre Dame” financial aid program first began in 2024, under current president Rev. Robert A. Dowd, who said at the time that “Notre Dame would be need-blind and loan-free for all students, domestic and international.”
“In order to be the community of learning we are called to be, cost must never be a barrier. By expanding the Pathways to Notre Dame program with this announcement, we continue to make strides to make a Notre Dame education more affordable,” Dowd said in a statement. “We are committed to making every effort to welcome talented young people from a variety of backgrounds to a Notre Dame community that will help them to develop their gifts. I have no doubt that the students who come to Notre Dame thanks to Pathways will enrich our community in every way.”
