Darthmouth Federal Pell Grant

Federal Pell Grants are authorized by the Education Amendments of 1972. Under this program, the federal government provides grants to students who qualify on the basis of financial need as determined by their FAFSA. For awards range from $606 to $4,000. Dartmouth’s policy is to confirm a student’s eligibility for a Pell Grant when the drop/add period is over each term. Students taking lesser than three courses each term will receive less Pell Grant for that term. In most cases, if the student is receiving Dartmouth scholarship assistance, it will be increased to make up the difference in the Pell Grant aid.
