CINCINNATI — Mount Notre Dame High School students will be automatically admitted to Xavier University if they choose starting in 2025.

The school announced Tuesday a new “direct admission” program, from the class of 2025.

MND students will be guaranteed a place at XU provided they “meet specific academic and admissions criteria,” MND said in its Facebook post. They did not specify what these criteria are.

The university has a similar agreement with boys who attend St. Xavier High School.

In addition to this, each eligible MND student will receive a cumulative merit scholarship of $1,831, just like at St.

The agreement aims to “reduce stress, facilitate affordability and secure admission for eligible students,” MND said.

Mount Notre Dame, an all-girls school in Reading, has just under 700 students enrolled in the high school. It was founded in 1860 by the Sisters of Notre-Dame, Belgian immigrants to the United States.
