Financial Aid, Scholarships, and Awards

Doctoral Programs

Dartmouth offers full financial support to all students in doctoral programs. Financial support includes a paid yearly stipend or fellowship at a minimum of $24,000. Students generally do not need to pay any tuition from their stipend as doctoral tuition is typically paid, or scholarship arrangements are made. Financial support is usually supplied for the entire duration of a student’s enrollment in their doctoral program, although support terms may differ slightly by program.

Master's Programs

Financial Aid at the master's level differs by program. For specific information please visit the department websites, links for which can be found on our programs and courses page. If you have further questions, please consult with the program staff.
