If I take a Gap Year, what happens to my financial aid offer?

Students who take a Gap Year will need to reapply for financial aid. We will complete a new analysis using the applicable tax year and policies for your time of matriculation. You should not expect your eligbility for aid to change greatly unless there were changes to your family's circumstances.

Dartmouth guarantees to meet 100% of the demonstrated need of all admitted students, for all four years, including for those that took a Gap Year.
