Fee Waivers

The College Scholarship Service (CSS) requires a fee to process the CSS Profile. The information here explains how you might qualify for a fee waiver.

International Citizens

Dartmouth uses the College Scholarship Service Profile form to collect accurate, consistent information and to minimize the possibility for data entry errors.  We do not provide fee waivers.  International applicants for whom the CSS Profile application fee will present a serious financial hardship can download the International Student Financial Aid Application (ISFAA). This is a fillable pdf form and can be completed by international financial aid applicants ONLY.  The form must be submitted directly to the Financial Aid Office at financial.aid@dartmouth.edu.  

Applying for financial aid using the ISFAA will not change an applicant's eligibility for financial aid; completing the ISFAA is considered the equivalent of completing the CSS Profile.

Applicants using the ISFAA will provide the same income documentation/information as all other international applicants.

Students Residing in the U.S.

The College Board automatically awards fee waivers based on financial information (income and assets) provided on the registration form. If the student is eligible based on the initial registration criteria, he/she will be permitted to skip the registration payment step. At the point the application is submitted, the student will be notified if the fee has been waived.
