Scholarships

<p>What kind of scholarships does Dartmouth offer?
I'm working on becoming a Medical Oncologist, and I really don't think that I would be able to pay for Dartmouth on my own. Even so, I know I could take out a student loan, but I don't want to have to worry about paying it off. I hear there's supposed to be a scholarship for Native Americans... or at least for Cherokee Indians. If there is, I'm curious about whether it's a part scholarship or a full one. I'm enlisted in the Eastern tribe, and I, in fact, do have an enrollment number.</p>

<p>You need to look at Dartmouth’s Fin Aid website. They do not offer merit scholarshps. However D has some special allotments for Natives.</p>

<p>Also note Dartmouth’s own very generous financial aid standard:

Financial concerns should not be a reason not to apply. Trust me. The school made it possible for us. Not easy, but possible.</p>

<p>Do they offer full scholarships?</p>

<p>Dartmouth does not give full scholarships. What Dartmouth does do is that the school meets 100% of your demonstrated need. If you are a low income, high need student, Dartmouth will give you a financial aid package that covers your demonstrated need. However, keep in mind that there is a student contribution from work in your financial aid package. If you don’t get the summer contribution, Dartmouth is not going to make up this money.</p>

<p>I have one other question. Does Dartmouth offer medical scholarships?</p>
