Dartmouth Engineering Financial Aid

Funding Your Engineering Degree

Take advantage of financial aid options, such as scholarships, fellowships, external funding, and more to cover the cost of your Dartmouth Engineering education.

Undergraduate Financial Aid

As an undergraduate engineering student at Dartmouth, you’ll first earn the Bachelor of Arts (AB) degree in engineering sciences before the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree. Many students earn both the AB and BE degrees in four years while others add a fifth year of study.

Aid for the AB or combined AB/BE

If you’re pursuing the AB or the combined AB and BE within four years, apply for aid through Dartmouth’s Office of Financial Aid. The Dartmouth financial aid team will guide you through the process and help you explore the various funding opportunities available to you, such as grants and scholarships, work-study funds, and loans.

Aid for the fifth-year BE

If you’re adding a fifth year to complete your BE, you may be eligible for need-based aid in the form of a partial tuition scholarship from Thayer, hourly employment as a teaching assistant or other roles, fellowships, and loans. To apply, complete the online CSS Profile Application form (Dartmouth CSS Code: 3351) indicating your year in college as "5th or more undergrad" by April 30.
