The Financial Aid Policies are accurate for the 2011 – 2012 academic year. However, Dartmouth reserves the right to make, from time to time, such changes in its operations, programs and activities as the Trustees, faculty and Officers consider appropriate and in the best interests of the Dartmouth Community.
Graduate Students
(MALS, A & S, TDI, MHCDS and Thayer Programs)
Scholarship assistance for Dartmouth's graduate programs are determined by the individual program or department. Contact them directly for information about scholarship availability:
Federal financial aid programs are available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents enrolled at least half-time and making satisfactory progress in a degree program. Federal financial aid to graduate students is available through the William D. Ford Direct Loan program (Direct Stafford Loan), the Federal Perkins Loan program, and Direct Graduate PLUS Loan program.
The Dartmouth College Graduate Student Financial Aid application must be completed to notify us of your intention to apply for financial aid. Download the 2012-2013 Graduate Student Financial Aid application here: Graduate Financial Aid Application.
All students who wish to apply for Federal Financial Aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (http://www.fafsa.ed.gov) after January 1 of the year you plan enrollment (i.e., after 1/1/2012 for the 2012-2013 academic period). This form must be completed each year. Dartmouth's school code is 002573.
The FAFSA form does have a signature requirement. If you have been issued a Personal Identification Number (PIN) this number can be used to sign your FAFSA form. You can apply for a PIN on line at http://www.pin.ed.gov. Your PIN number can be used to access your FAFSA and must be used to apply for and monitor the status of federal loans.
Additional information about federal financial aid available to graduate students can be found on the Federal Student Aid Website.
