Students Posing on a Sidewalk

We want you to apply! Apply now for the track of your choice. The application deadline is (postmarked) March 1. However, enrollment is limited and early application is advisable. All applicants will be notified of decisions by (postmarked) May 1, 2008.

Program Costs

All applicants must submit a nonrefundable $40 application fee that is not applied to the tuition amount. A nonrefundable enrollment deposit must be submitted once a student has been notified of his or her acceptance to Summer Scholars. This enrollment deposit must be postmarked by May 15, 2008, to secure a place for the student in the program. The enrollment deposit will be applied to the total tuition amount. Tuition payments are final.

Tuition/Housing

Tuition and housing costs combined amount to $2,400. This amount includes room and board, as well as extracurricular activities and class field trips. (Note: Life Science track students will be charged a $150 lab fee, in addition to tuition and housing.) The tuition and housing cost balance must be paid in full and sent to the Office of Pre-College Programs postmarked by June 15, 2008.

  • Please make all checks payable to the University of Notre Dame. Sorry, credit cards may not be used.

A note for South Bend area students: Campus residency is an important aspect of every college student’s life, and it is an essential component of the Notre Dame experience. All Summer Scholars participants are required to live in one of Notre Dame’s residence halls.
