Where the Money Goes
It pays for financial aid for students who otherwise couldn't afford a Dartmouth education.
FACT: Admission to Dartmouth is need-blind, and 56 percent of Dartmouth students receive some form of financial aid.
It supports foreign study to every part of the globe.
FACT: More Dartmouth students—63 percent—study abroad than at any peer institution.
It fosters athletic programs from varsity teams to spinning classes.
FACT: Dartmouth students are fit: 8 out of 10 participate in some kind of team or recreational fitness activity.
It brings great artists and scholars to campus.
FACT: When guest experts and performers visit Dartmouth, they don't just do their thing and leave: they meet with students in small seminars, in dinners, and Q&A sessions.
And so much more.
FACT: 1 out of 12 dollars in Dartmouth's annual budget comes directly from alumni gifts like yours. Annual giving supports every aspect of College life, from the close faculty-student interaction in and out of the classroom to the bonding of first-year students on top of Moosilauke. Your gift makes a difference.
