Tuition & Affording NDP

List of 6 items.

• Endowed Scholarships

  NDP uses FACTS Grant & Aid and Assessment. Anyone wanting to be considered for endowed scholarships or need-based financial aid needs to submit an application to FACTS between October 16, 2026, and December 18, 2026.
  
  Need-based financial aid and scholarship awards are granted after a thorough review of the family’s completed FACTS application. All aid is awarded on a yearly basis and is continued each subsequent year if the family's financial need is indicated on the FACTS report. Once enrolled, parents must make an application to FACTS each year in order to continue to receive grants or scholarships.  

   

  Students must be in good standing in all aspects of student life and are encouraged to maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA.
  
  

  Scholarship availability changes from year to year; therefore, we are unable to publish a definite listing of them.
