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.

Families with total income of less than $100,000 with typical assets will be awarded a scholarship which will cover the full cost of tuition. In addition, the initial financial aid award offered to these families will not require them to borrow money to pay for their Dartmouth education. The income threshold was increased from $75,000 last year.
This new initiative will go into effect in the summer of 2012 and will include eligible current students along with the incoming Class of 2016.
Dartmouth will continue to expect a student contribution from summer or leave term employment. If a student wishes to take a loan to replace their contribution, this option will remain available to eligible students.
The FAFSA is now available for all students on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov/. The deadline for First-Year Applicants is February 1st. Renewal applicants must file by February 15th.
Please review the application instructions to ensure you are submitting all of the necessary materials.
Renewal applicants will receive directions on completing their applications from the College Board in early February.
The student questionnaire used to award endowed scholarships is accessible through Banner Student Self-Service.
The Funds for Educational Enrichment application is now available for the 2011-2012 academic year (funding for fall 2011, winter 2012, spring 2012, and summer 2012). If you anticipate needing funding, be sure to pay close attention to the new guidelines for awarding these funds and the term deadlines.
The application can be found on Blitz Bulletins under the Financial Aid Office, on the Financial Aid Office’s Facebook Page, and at the following website: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~finaid/fao/policies/funds_ed_enrich.html.
