<p>Does anyone know about the financial aid package of Dartmouth? Is the school need blind? If not, is there any chance you can get a full ride? </p>
<p>I am very interested in Dartmouth!!!! Please help!!!</p>
<p>Dartmouth is need blind for U.S. citizens, permanent residents and citizens of Canada and Mexico. Dartmouth is not need blind toward international astudents so one's ability to pay will be a factor in admissions.</p>
<p>Dartmouth has a low income inititative for families earning less than 30,000</p>
<p>Starting with this fall's enrolling class, the Class of 2009, Dartmouth students whose family incomes are less than $30,000 will receive financial aid packages without student loans. The portion of the package that normally would be composed of loans will be replaced with additional scholarship funds. Barring significant changes to family financial circumstances, this no-loan financial aid package will be renewed each year for all four years. </p>
<p>Starting with the Class of 2005, students whose family incomes are less than $45,000 are currently receiving and will continue to receive financial aid packages without student loans during their first year of study. Additional scholarship funds are used to replace the loan portion of the package. Depending on individual family financial circumstances, modest loans ($500-$1,500) may be included in subsequent years for these students. These students can expect to graduate with among the lowest debt burdens of any students graduating from any college in the U.S.</p>
<p>There is really no such thing as a full ride at any school that uses an institutional methodology to distribute their funds because there is an expexctation that students are active participants in the financing of their education. This means that there is a self help component in the form of work-study, student contribution from summer earnings, and in some cases loans. (even students that fall under the no student loan policy still has has a self aid component in the form of wok study and student contribution from summer earnings). </p>
<p>Dartmouth does have a finanical aid calculator so I would recommend your running your numbers to see what they look like.</p>
