Dartmouth students come from all 50
states and more than 70 countries. The population is divided
roughly evenly between men and women. Nearly a third of the students identify
themselves as students of color (29%) or non-US citizens (5.4%). Almost half of
the students receive some form of financial assistance to cover the cost of
their education.
Dartmouth disburses more than
$40 million in need-based
scholarships each year. Prior to Dartmouth, approximately 2/3
of the students attended public secondary schools and 1/3 attended private or
parochial schools. Once on campus, they take full advantage of the academic
resources Dartmouth has to offer, and get
involved in the more than 300 officially recognized
organizations.
