|  | Admissions Scholarships/Financial Aid Notre Dame awards an academic scholarship to each of the top ten applicants ($2,500 to the top two students, $2,000 to the other eight). These awards are renewed annually provided the student maintains a healthy academic and disciplinary record.
Need-based financial aid is available through the Notre Dame Loyalty and Endowment Fund, the Brothers of Holy Cross, and other sources. Approximately 28% of Notre Dame students receive financial aid, awards range from $ 1,000 - $ 3,000. Last Year, total aid distributed came to $ 600,000. Parents who submit a financial aid application are considered for financial assistance by our Financial Aid Committee. Awards are made based on funds available and the degree of family need, and parents are notified upon their son’s acceptance to Notre Dame.

Shepherds ProgramNotre Dame of West Haven is one of five schools in Connecticut that receives scholarship support from Shepherds Inc., a nonprofit organization that pays a student's four-year tuition and pairs that student with a mentor from freshman through senior year.
Acceptance in to the program is not guaranteed, as more candidates meet the criteria than there are scholarships available. If Notre Dame considers the candidate eligible for the Shepherd's Program, it offers the student a Shepherd's Program application. After completing it, the next step is for the student and his parent/guardian to interview with Shepherds personnel.
Candidates must meet four criteria for consideration:
- Take and pass the Notre Dame entrance exam and pay the necessary fees to become a registered student.
- Have financial need, such that without aid, he could not attend Notre Dame. (Each candidate must complete all financial aid information and forms required by the school.)
- Show academic potential
- Likely benefit from a mentor in his life
