College Access Programs

As part of its comprehensive outreach efforts, Dartmouth's college access programs are designed to give participants an experience of daily college life at Dartmouth. Participants will learn about Dartmouth's close-knit community and its resources, as well as college admissions and financial aid processes. Dartmouth will cover travel expenses, housing, and meals for students who are selected for these programs.

Dartmouth Bound

July 20-23, 2025 or August 3-6, 2025

The application period for the 2025 Dartmouth Bound program has closed.

The Dartmouth Bound application is open to all rising high school seniors currently living and attending a high school in the U.S., regardless of citizenship status. We encourage students from underserved communities—including students who are the first in their families to attend college, students from low-income families, and students from under-resourced high schools or who otherwise lack access or opportunity to programs or resources that would assist in preparing them for college—to apply.

Dartmouth will cover travel expenses, housing, and meals for students who are selected for the program.
