Approximately eighty percent of the graduate students received graduate and research assistantships, fellowships, scholarships, loans, and grants-in-aid totaling more than $103 million in 2007-08.
Budget/Endowment/Income
Notre Dame's operating budget for 2009-10 is just over $1 billion, and the market value of its endowment is at $5.5 billion. Two major resources of income which account for a combined 68 percent are student tuition and fees, and auxiliary enterprises (including residence halls, dining facilities, athletics, and the bookstore). A third source of spending is from the University's endowment pool.
Development
The University has had a successful development program since it established a formal fund-raising office in 1947, and it has raised more than $2.9 billion since 1960, including more than $197.5 million in 2008-09. Notre Dame's alumni in 2008-09 contributed more than $112 million to their alma mater; their level of participation is among the best in American higher education. Other important sources of gift income include foundations, corporations and non-alumni parents and friends. For information on support programs, contact Louis M.
