What happens if the financial aid offer doesn't seem as though it will work for my family?

Tell us! You should submit a Request for Financial Aid Review (also included with the award offer) to the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible. In recent years, only a handful of Early Decision students have been unable to attend for financial reasons, and Dartmouth routinely releases them from the early commitment so they can apply to other colleges. The 2027-2028 Request for Review form will become available in December after decisions are released.
