Dartmouth Resources The Graduate Student Financial Aid Office of Dartmouth will assist students who require financial aid to apply for loans. For more information on loans, call (603) 646-2451 or write to the Office of Financial Aid, Dartmouth College, 6024 McNutt Hall, Hanover, NH 03755. Dartmouth College employees should contact the Office of Human Resources at (603) 646-3588 for information relating to employee tuition reimbursement benefits. At this time, scholarships, stipends, or tuition assistance are not available for M.S. and M.P.H. students at The Institute. You are encouraged to pursue all options as soon as possible regarding federal student loans, alternative loans, scholarships, grants, and other sources of funding to help cover the cost of tuition, books, materials, and housing expenses. Dartmouth's Financial Aid Office can assist you with some specific loans, but you will need to pursue additional funding sources on your own. See below for more information on funding sources and sites. Tuition scholarships and fellowship or assistantship support for Ph.D. students are generally available through the Program or through faculty research grants. The general intent of the Program is for all Institute doctoral students to have full support for tuition and, whenever possible, to have funding in addition to tuition. Students who are eligible for post-doctoral level support are urged to apply to one of our post-doctoral programs in addition. Funding for some qualified students may be derived from a variety of sources that may be available at time of application, including teaching and research assistantships, training grant stipends or employment in part-time positions which are related to the Program's educational goals and consistent with its policies. More information is available through the Office of Educational Programs or the Dartmouth College Graduate Studies Office. The Chris Stuecklen Fund was established specifically to provide interest-free emergency loans to students enrolled in Institute graduate programs. Financial Aid Web Picks for Graduate Students
