Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the program open to all Dartmouth students?To apply for the program, Dartmouth students must be in active status and in good academic and disciplinary standing. We will not be able to consider any student required to be on campus for their sophomore summer, except for international students who are already exempted from sophomore summer.
- Can a student be taking classes while a Fellow? No, as it will prevent full participation in the program.

- How long is the program? The program runs for eight (8) weeks and will begin approximately June 24.
- Is housing provided? No, Fellows must secure their own housing for the summer.
- When will you be conducting interviews? Interviews will be conducted in early to mid-April. If we are interested in an applicant that will be off campus spring term, we will contact you to interview with us via phone.
