Financial Assistance is available to all Catholic families from affiliated
parishes who have students at Peoria Notre Dame High School. For ALL Financial
Assistance, the Private School Aid Service form must be completed and sent
to PSAS for processing.
We are frequently asked if there is a cut-off point above which Financial
Assistance would not be available. Because several factors such as funds
available, the number of requests for assistance, and the seriousness of
need are impossible to foresee, a specific amount is hard to project. Also,
there are other circumstances such as layoffs, excessive medical bills,
more than one PND student per family or other items which may affect the ability of the
parents to pay tuition.
- The first step in the Financial Assistance (F/A) program begins in November
when the level of funds available is determined as part of the PND Budget
proposal presented to and eventually approved by the PND Education Commission
and the Peoria Area Pastors' Board.
- Funding sources administered under the PND Foundation are also reviewed
as part of the budget process to determine what will be available under
the various Foundation Scholarship sources.
- Financial Assistance forms can be obtained from the Main Office beginning
February 1st.
- These forms along with the required remittance indicated on the form
must be sent to the address listed on the front of the form by April 1st.
- Private School Aid Service will provide their evaluation and summary
to Peoria Notre Dame by April 20th.
- The Administrative person or persons involved with F/A review the PSAS
summary, determine the various levels of need and make the final determination
of F/A awards.
- Families will be notified by May 15th as to whether or not they qualify
for financial assistance and how much assistance they will be allotted.
- In most cases, students receiving F/A will be required to work at Peoria
Notre Dame one or two weeks during the summer. The assigned weeks will
be listed in the May 15th notification letter.
- Families filing after the April 1st deadline will be considered based
on need and the availability of Financial Assistance funds.
- All students receiving F/A are expected to maintain certain levels of
scholarship, community service, and responsibility consistent with the
Mission of Peoria Notre Dame.
- Financial Assistance is pro-rated on a month to month basis. For a student
who leaves mid-year, only that portion pro-rated to the date of withdrawal
would apply to the student's account.
