Partially funded

Dartmouth 4E Fund

Dartmouth College, United States

Scholarship overview

The Dartmouth 4E Fund (Essentials, Enrichment, Experiences, Emergencies) is endowment-supported supplemental funding, formerly called Barrier Removal Funds. It supports undergraduate students from low-income backgrounds with expenses beyond regular financial aid.

Award Information

  • Currently enrolled undergraduates from low-income backgrounds (limited graduate funding for Guarini and Thayer students; Geisel students apply through the Geisel Financial Aid Office).
  • Not for leave-term expenses, personal devices, off-campus program travel, tax withholding or expenses already in the cost of attendance.
  • Many requests are capped at $500.
  • Examples: eyeglasses, medical co-pays and deductibles, computer repair, graduate school fees, one-time professional attire, visa expenses for off-campus programs, conferences, emergency flights home.
  • First-year high-need students automatically receive a gift card for warm winter clothing.
  • Awards are individual and may only partly cover a request; the award may be taxable income.

Applications are reviewed weekly; responses are expected within 2 weeks.

  1. Log in to DartHub and open Financial Aid (undergraduates), or search for 4E Funds on the DartHub landing page.
  2. Submit the request; the 4E Fund Committee will ask for supporting documents if needed.
