Dartmouth College Announces Tuition and Loan Elimination Plan

Dartmouth College President James Wright announced today several major additions to the school's financial aid program. Beginning with the 2008-09 school year:

All students with a family income below $75,000 will go tuition-free. They may also be eligible for scholarships to help cover other expenses such as room, board, books and miscellaneous expenses.

Scholarships will be replacing grants for incoming scholarship students beginning with the Class of 2012. Current students will see their loans cut by 50%.

Starting with the Class of 2012, Dartmouth will extend it's need-blind admission policy to all international students. Currently students from the US, Canada and Mexico are covered by the policy.

Financial aid recipients will be eligible for a $2,950 scholarship in their junior year to assist them in taking advantage of possible research or internship opportunities.
