Dartmouth Bound Summer Program
July 20th 2025, 8:00 am EDT
As part of its comprehensive outreach efforts, the Dartmouth Bound Program, which takes place in July, is designed to give current juniors (rising seniors) 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. Participants will attend workshops on the admissions and financial aid processes and interact with members of our faculty. While staying in Dartmouth residence halls, there will be ample time to enjoy meaningful conversations with current student mentors and other Bound participants. Dartmouth will cover travel expenses, housing, and meals for students who are selected for the program.
