About Dartmouth
Dartmouth College is a private, four-year, liberal arts college; ninth oldest in the nation and a member of the Ivy League. Dartmouth offers undergraduate programs in Arts and Sciences and graduate study at the Tuck School of Business, the Dartmouth Medical School, the Thayer School of Engineering, and sixteen graduate programs in the Arts and Sciences.
The College has 4,100 undergraduate students, 1,600 graduate students, and 596 tenured and tenure-track faculty.
The College aims to be accessible to the broadest range of students possible. Admission is based upon a student's accomplishments and talent, not the ability to pay. For that reason, Dartmouth operates on a "need-blind" admissions policy, ensuring that admissions decisions are made without regard to financial circumstances of applicants. The College guarantees that 100% of a student’s demonstrated financial need will be met for all four years of enrollment. Financial aid awards include grants, low-interest student loans, and student employment.
To that end, the NH Space Grant at Dartmouth has participated in funding some very promising science students

Two Space Grant Scholarships have been established as part of Dartmouth's Presidential Scholars Program. Awards of $1500 support outstanding students in aerospace related fields, leading to completion of a senior thesis.
Dartmouth students are also eligible for participation in NASA Summer Academies. These programs offer advanced (junior and above) students an experience combining research work with general education and orientation to the NASA environment. Information and applications are available at the NASA Academy Page.
Internships at Dartmouth:
Space Grant sponsors student research internships in the Departments of Physics and Astronomy, Earth Science, and Computer Science, and the Thayer School of Engineering, all organized around students collaborating closely with a faculty mentor. Space grant offers sophomore internships to women students interested in space-related fields. The internships are intended for women science or engineering majors who have not already participated in Dartmouth's Women In Science Program (WISP).
Fellowships at Dartmouth:
Space Grant offers graduate fellowship support to qualified students in the Departments of Physics and Astronomy, Earth Science, and Computer Science, and in the Thayer School of Engineering. Fellowships cover stipend and tuition, and are awarded for one or more academic quarters. Space Grant also supports travel grants for students and their mentors to participate in professional meetings relevant to NASA's strategic interests.
Dartmouth awards two Space Grant prizes for outstanding M.S. and PhD. thesis research in NASA-related fields. Students in the four academic units listed above are eligible. Space Grant supports the development of young scholars by offering an annual opportunity to teach an interdisciplinary, space-related course during one academic quarter. Recent recipients of the PhD from Dartmouth or other institutions are eligible for this opportunity.Dartmouth is also a collaborator, along with UNH and FIRST Place, in the development of space and Earth science curricula for teachers-in-training.
