Dartmouth Scholarships

[sybbie719]

My parents have an income of about $75,000 so we indeed earn less than $100,000. When I use the FASFA estimator, it says I am not eligible for the Pell Grant based on a $65,000 tuition. Clearly my family cannot live on $10,000, so it falls on me to find financial aid another way. From what I understand, at Dartmouth since my family’s income is less than $100,000, I am eligible to receive financial aid that if accepted, would reduce my costs to about $10,000.

1. Dartmouth's tuition is not $65,000 Dartmouth'sTuition: $46,764 Family will still most likely have to pay fees, room, board, travel and other misc expenses. There is also a student contribution from work

Plan to arrive on campus with sufficient funds for your out-of-pocket expenses. You will need an average of $1,027 per term to pay for your own books, supplies, laundry, etc. These indirect costs will not appear on your college bill.

1. Dartmouth's financial aid policy is as follows:

@Dartmouth College Financial Aid

At Dartmouth, free tuition is provided for students from families with total incomes of $100,000 or less—and possessing typical assets.

Foopy has a huge issue. He has a parent who is both self employed and owns his own business. It sounds like his parent net income is WAYYYY lower than their gross income. Clearly there are deductions being taken to make that happen.

If your parents are self employed and own their own business, this policy will most likely not pertain to you. Unfortunately the net price calculator also will not be accurate for families with self employed parents, business owners and divorced/separated/blended families.

Op must file the fafsa for federal aid and the CSS profile/idoc for institutional aid

@Dartmouth financial aid handbook - page 8

We will ask you to verify certain information provided on the FAFSA and CSS Profile by
providing documentation to us, which may include signed copies of your and your parents’
federal income tax returns, accompanying schedules, and W-2 forms. **Based on your individual
circumstances, we may also require you to file a Noncustodial Profile and/or a Business/Farm
Supplement and business tax returns. **The more complete and timely the information is, the
sooner we can begin packaging your award. We need to collect this information to determine
which types of aid we can offer.
