Dartmouth is committed to helping students afford their education, with 94% of enrolled students receiving a loan or scholarship this year.

Scholarships, made possible by alumni, corporations, and nonprofit foundations, are awarded based on merit to all applicants, regardless of citizenship. While funds are limited and may not fully meet each student’s needs, recipients are typically notified upon admission. Scholarships are distributed equally each term of enrollment. Additionally, we offer financial literacy resources and workshops on budgeting, loan repayment, debt management, and financial planning for graduate school and career transitions. 

Our admissions and financial aid offices will review the application materials submitted by candidates for admission. In assessing merit, we consider a variety of factors, including exceptional academic performance, leadership, professional accomplishments, service, and the ability to contribute to the diversity of the Dartmouth community. 

To search for outside scholarships, these resources are available: fastweb.com, collegeboard.org, and scholarships.com.

There is also a scholarship search engine through SOPHAS.
