Dartmouth is committed to the philosophy that the cost of a college
education should not be a deterrent to prospective
applicants. We admit students on the basis of their
accomplishments and potential to contribute to our community. Our decisions are
need-blind, meaning that we admit the very best students and never stop to ask
if they can afford to pay. We are also committed to making sure that Dartmouth
is affordable and accessible to every student we admit.
If you're considering Dartmouth, don't hesitate to apply because you think your
family won't be able to afford the cost of a Dartmouth education. We meet
100% of each student's demonstrated need for all four years of your
undergraduate career.
