Is Financial Aid Available to Help with the Purchase of A Computer?

Yes, financial aid is available to eligible students in the form of a loan to cover the cost of one of the basic computer packages. (More information on this option will be available in June.) 

  • If you choose to have your computer shipped to you during the summer, you will be required to pay in advance by credit card, but you can receive the loan as a credit to your student account in the fall.  
  • If you pick up your computer when you arrive on campus, the purchase will be charged to your student account and can be offset by the loan amount.  
  • If you elect to purchase a computer elsewhere, you would still be eligible for a loan up to the amount of the basic package offered by Dartmouth.  
  • If you are ineligible for financial aid, financing arrangements are sometimes available through the manufacturers, through local (New Hampshire) banks, or through private sources that specialize in educational loans.
