Creating Generations of Leaders
Through the enduring power of financial aid endowments and scholarship
Sustaining a Legacy of Support
“Everyone who attends Dartmouth stands on the shoulders of those who came before us.
Now is our moment. If not us, then who?”
— Dan Kalafatas ’96 founding member
About the circle
The Evergreen Scholarship Circle is a global community of Dartmouth’s most generous supporters committed to the College’s mission of providing a world-class education that prepares students for lives of wise leadership.
Why this matters
While talent is equally distributed among us, resources are not. Students from a broad range of socioeconomic, educational, and cultural backgrounds contribute to a campus of ideas and learning that benefits all students.
Our Impact
Thanks to more than 152 Evergreen Scholarship Circle members, Dartmouth has already met some important financial aid milestones, establishing more than 400 scholarship funds, removing loans from financial aid packages for families with annual incomes less than $125,000, and facilitating the adoption of a need-blind international admissions policy.
Now is Our Moment
“I was the beneficiary of a nearly full financial aid package as an undergraduate, thanks to alumni who came before me. Dartmouth completely changed the trajectory of my life. The idea that we can help make that happen for others forever is unbelievably gratifying.”
— Peter Raskind ’78 TU’79 founding member
