Dartmouth believes that 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.
Between 40 and 50 percent of each entering class receives aid from the
College or other sources. 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.
Whether or not your son or daughter is receiving financial aid, there are
numerous payment plans and financing options which can spread the parents'
share of the cost of education over time periods extending from four to ten
years or more. These options fall into three categories.
- Tuition
prepayment allows families who are not receiving any college
support to prepay two to four years of tuition at the rate in effect when the
student enters. These families will be exempt from future tuition increases,
although room, board and other expenses will be subject to increases.
- The
Dartmouth Monthly Payment Plan enables you to pay part or all of
expenses in ten interest-free monthly installments.
- Parent Loan Plans generally involve spreading the cost of
education beyond the undergraduate career. In addition to the programs listed
by the Financial Aid
Office, many states and banks have similar programs.
Questions about financial aid should be directed to the Financial Aid
Office.
