Veterans Typically Attend Dartmouth College for no More Than $41,139
If you qualify for full benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill® we estimate that your yearly out of pocket cost to attend Dartmouth College
should not be more than $41,139.
Private College Tuition Not Covered by GI Bill® Benefits
Even if you qualify for full benefits, the tuition and fees charged by Dartmouth College will not be
fully covered. Dartmouth College charges $57,204
a year for tuition and fees but your maximum Post-9/11 benefit is only $20,235.
In order to make up the shortfall you will need some additional aid from the college and/or government.

Remember, some forms of aid such as Pell Grants are awarded in addition to your Post-9/11 GI Bill® benefits
so be sure to fill out your FASA forms.
Yellow Ribbon Program Participant But With Limitations
If you have tuition and fees charges that are not covered by your Post-9/11 benefits, you may be
able to get additional assistance in the form of a Yellow Ribbon Award.
While Dartmouth College participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program, it places some limitations
on the awards it grants, so your participation in this program is not guaranteed.
Remember, only veterans who qualify for full Post-9/11 benefits are eligible to participate in
a Yellow Ribbon program.
Dartmouth College awarded a total of $707,331
in Yellow Ribbon benefits last year.
This was split among 44 veterans
for an average award of $16,076
($32,151 after government matching).
The following table may show you how likely you are to have outstanding tuition costs covered by the Yellow Ribbon Program
at Dartmouth College. Remember, contributions from the college will be matched by the VA.
