Dartmouth believes the cost of a college education
should not be a deterrent to prospective applicants. Financial aid in the form
of grants, scholarships, loans, and employment is available on the basis of
need. Moreover, Dartmouth guarantees to meet 100% of each student's
demonstrated need for each of his/her four years of undergraduate study.
More than half of Dartmouth students and their families receive assistance
from either the College or outside sources in meeting the cost of attendance,
and about over 45 percent of the student body receives scholarship aid directly
from the College. Eligibility for aid is reviewed each year, and adjustments
are made, as necessary, to assure that the aid package is commensurate with
each family's financial need.
In the 2005-2006 academic year, Dartmouth students received
approximately $52 million in grant/scholarship aid. In addition, the College
administers $11.4 million in loans. Finally, Dartmouth students receive
approximately $3 million in scholarships from outside sources (for example:
National Merit Scholarships and similar scholarship programs). The range of
scholarships offered to financial aid recipients in recent years has been as
low as $1,000 to over $44,000.
