Full Tuition Scholarships
All Catholic lay students admitted in the Master of Divinity program receive a full tuition scholarship for three years. This financial assistance, valued at over $110,000 over three years, enables students to immerse themselves in outstanding academic classes, to participate in diverse and collaborative formation communities involving both seminarians and lay students, to work at ministerial internships in the surrounding community, and to take part in the life of one of the world’s great universities.
"The full tuition scholarship really stood out in comparison to other similar M.Div. programs around the country. I felt called to earn this degree, but I really was not in a position to take on more student loans. Having tuition as a non-factor gave me the freedom to discern the program's fit for me without worrying about finances. Now, as a part of the M.Div. program, I am so grateful to the generous benefactors who aid my study, prayer, and formation as a future minister in the Church. They have made the opportunity of an M.Div. a reality for me."

“The full tuition scholarship had a great impact in my decision to come to Notre Dame because, having worked with the homeless and prisoners over the past few years, I did not have any extra money for the tuition at a private school like Notre Dame. Knowing that any job I get after graduation will only pay me a moderate amount of money, it helps to know that I can greatly reduce the amount of debt I acquire while I am a student. While money is still a concern, with health insurance, books, room and board, and other incidentals like travel or recreation to budget for, I certainly have much less anxiety than had I not gotten the tuition scholarship.”
