** Administered through the Financial Aid office **
A number of special funds, including the Educational Enrichment Fund, have been established to provide financial assistance to undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need (i.e., those receiving scholarship assistance from the College). These funds provide grants to students to allow them to pursue educational opportunities that would be otherwise unavailable. In the past, the funds have provided grants to cover the cost of travel home because of family emergencies, expenses associated with leave-term internships, fees for physical education and enrichment courses on campus, and replacement of leave-term earnings while students were participating in educationally significant opportunities.
Interested students should submit this application form by the deadline specified for each term in order to apply for funding to be awarded for the following term. A committee reviews requests, decisions will be made and students will be notified approximately one week after the deadline each term. Requests regarding immediate emergencies will be reviewed on an as-needed basis. Students are eligible to receive financial assistance from one of these special funds only once during their Dartmouth career. Applications may be blitzed to "Financial Aid," faxed to 603-646-1414, or hand delivered. All applications are due by 4 p.m. on the deadline day. Please contact Financial Aid for up-to-date information and deadlines.
