What scholarship opportunities are available for Dartmouth undergraduates?

Dartmouth does not generally offer merit scholarships to undergraduates. Its institutional aid is primarily need-based financial aid, and Dartmouth is known for meeting 100 percent of demonstrated need for admitted students, including a no-loan policy for many families. So if you are asking about scholarships through Dartmouth itself, the main funding available is need-based grant aid rather than academic or talent-based merit awards.

Once enrolled, Dartmouth students can still access several school-supported funding opportunities, but many of them are tied to specific experiences rather than being traditional tuition scholarships. For example, Dartmouth offers funding for undergraduate research, internships, off-campus programs, and public service work through offices such as the Undergraduate Advising and Research office, the Center for Professional Development, and the Tucker Center. These can help cover project costs, summer experiences, or unpaid opportunities.

There are also named prizes, fellowships, and departmental awards for current students in certain majors or programs. Those are usually smaller and often based on academic work, research proposals, or faculty nomination rather than serving as broad merit scholarships for all undergraduates.
