The Thayer Financial Aid office oversees a small pool of funds for extraordinary circumstances that Thayer graduate students may encounter. These are for expenses that fall outside of the typical Cost of Attendance. Examples of these may include emergency travel, medical co-payments or personal needs, or assistance with educational needs not covered by financial aid. Funds are limited and students are only eligible for one disbursement, generally not more than $600, per academic year. Funds are primarily available to PhD students who have high financial need and to Master’s students who are eligible for scholarship funds. BE students should contact the Dartmouth Financial Aid office for this funding.

All requests for funds will be kept confidential.
