Inbound exchange students do not qualify for Dartmouth financial aid in the same way as regular, matriculated Dartmouth students. Instead, students should consult with their home school about costs of the exchange and any relevant information on scholarships or aid specific to their home school and/or the exchange.

Some exchange programs have unique scholarship components. This can mean that students may receive or apply to receive additional funding to pay for some of the estimated direct and/or indirect costs. Students should consult with their home school for more information.
